St\u00e9phanie spent years at her father’s side learning about wine and joined him at Ch\u00e2teau Cabezac as his Sales & Marketing Director.<\/p>\n
In 2019, she took the reins as the estate\u2019s owner, who manages the winery and oversees everything from vineyard care and wine blending to wine events and cellar management.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very enriching,” says St\u00e9phanie. “And all over a glass of wine!\u201d St\u00e9phanie is joined by her son, Arthur, and daughter, Alice, working at the family winery making Minervois, an appellation from the western Languedoc.<\/p>\n

Cabezac Minervois Blanc “Alice,<\/strong>” named for St\u00e9phanie’s daughter, just earned 92 Points from Tasting Panel!<\/strong> “Charming blend that’s steely and lean with a verve that brings out floral tones, anise, and tangerine zest,” they write.<\/p>\nBeing connected to the earth is the best thing about working in wine for St\u00e9phanie, “seeing how the beautiful land on the estate grows and changes throughout the year.”<\/p>\n
We were thrilled to recently add Ch\u00e2teau Cabezac to the Milligan Portfolio – our first Minervois (Min-er-Vwah) wines (from western Languedoc) – and they’re killer.<\/p>\n
