A little history: The estate was founded by Clément Termes in 1860. Passionate about wine and vines, he built a winery in 1868. The Château was built a few years later. His wines were shipped in barrels throughout France. Most of his customers were clergy. Several generations have succeeded one another: in 1968 Jean David increased the size of the vineyard and enlarged the winery, and in 1970 his son François developed the estate using new techniques. Today, Caroline and Olivier, the 7th generation, are guiding Château Clément Termes into this new century. The wines : Château Clément Termes offers a wide range of wines, all the fruit of the work of an independent winemaker. From the cuvée tradition to the Bulles and the Gaillac perlé, the estate's wines express the terroir of Gaillac wines. In fact, some of the Château's wines are made from local grape varieties that are characteristic of the appellation. The white wines include Mauzac, rich and fruity, and Loin de l'œil, fresh and lemony. The reds include the complex Braucol and the fruity Duras and Prunelard. More well-known grape varieties complete the blends: Sauvignon-blanc, Muscadelle, Syrah and Merlot.

Laurent and Fabien Caussé are the 8th generation of winemakers on the family estate. They cultivate 50 hectares of vines and create a diversity of five ranges of wines made in the traditional way.Legend has it that the Sarrabelle spring, which gushes out near the medieval Château de Montaigut, was the place where the beautiful Yolande met her lover. Its name comes from the Occitan word "sarro-bello", which means "to embrace one's beauty". The lower parts of the castle, destroyed during the Albigensian Crusade, have been preserved, with the Chapelle de Montaigut above. Today, Laurent and Fabien Caussé are the 8th generation of winegrowers on the family estate. They cultivate 50 hectares of vines and create a diversity of five ranges of wines made in the traditional way. The estate's approach to amphorae is not to use them as transport containers, but to exploit the natural permeability of baked clay during wine ageing. Micro-oxidation is already widely used in oak barrel ageing. It rounds out the tannins and adds complexity to great vintages. The shape of the amphora, the nature of the earth blend and the temperature at which it is fired all play a part in its behaviour towards the wine. Because it is clay, the amphora is neutral in flavour and helps the wine to express its subtle aromas powerfully, with a slight drop in acidity and the development of a richer, fuller structure. The estate has 4 white grape varieties and 6 red grape varieties. In the white varieties, we grow the traditional Gaillac varieties: len-de-l'el or (Far from the eye), Mauzac and Muscadelle, as well as Chardonnay, which is not a conventional variety in the region. The 6 red grape varieties grown are: Braucol, also known as Fer Servadou, Duras, Syrah and complementary varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Gamay. The 50-hectare estate is located in Lisle sur Tarn, around 30 minutes from Toulouse and 15 minutes from Albi (exit 8 - A68).
