About Domaine d'Escausses

Domaine d’Escausses is the Balaran family’s estate at Sainte-Croix in the Gaillac region of south-west France. Jean-Marc Balaran and his daughter Aurélie continue a family tradition of growing grapes and making wine, alongside their second property, Château l’Enclos des Roses. As independent vignerons, the family follows the process from vineyard work through vinification, ageing and bottling. Their approach combines inherited knowledge with improvements in the vineyard and cellar, while keeping the identity of their Gaillac home at its heart.
