Our history
Our philosophy
In 1992, the Paux-Rosset family gave La Négly a new impetus, steering the château firmly towards a quality-led strategy with the ambition of producing must-have wines of the Languedoc. Farming methods were changed to protect the environment, and most of the vineyard was replanted.
The château’s location, facing the sea, led us towards quality wine tourism, with a new tasting cellar built to offer a better, friendlier welcome to professionals and visitors alike. Cellar tours and vineyard walks (in season) let you share our surroundings.
Our passion led us to develop a premium offer with the creation of a charming house on the hillside, Coste Care, a privileged retreat at the heart of the estate for guests seeking complete immersion.
The couple’s children, Bastien and Marion, bring their energy and are enthusiastically preparing the future that lies ahead.
The family
Paux-Rosset
Jean Paux-Rosset
Born into a winemaking family,
Jean was destined for a top-level equestrian career.
Life’s circumstances led him to take over the estate, then in great difficulty, in 1992.
A charismatic man, he was one of the first to recognise the potential of his terroir. With passion, he rethought the way the vines are grown, through pruning and yield control.
Driven by his energy and tenacity, Jean raised La Négly to international renown.
According to the topography of the Aude, the name appears as Lancely in 1773, La Nerly in 1781 and finally La Négly in 1807, bearing witness to the château’s golden age.
Saint-Laurent de La Mer is also mentioned in 1484, and the Saint-Laurent chapel in 1781, all on the château’s land. The house belonged to the Count of Rosset, who used it as his summer residence.
Flocks of sheep grazed on the salt meadows of the Saint-Laurent chapel, at Château La Négly, before moving on to Pérignan, known today as Fleury d’Aude.
