After completing a degree in pharmacy, Alban Cacaret made a radical change in his career direction. As the nephew of Château Malescasse owner Philippe Austruy, Alban’s family passion for wine steered him to Château Peyrassol in 2002. There he faced the extensive task of overseeing the Château’s broad renovation wherein all was to be restructured – from the vineyard to the buildings. While overseeing the restoration project, he also completed a baccalaureate in viticulture and oenology to familiarize himself with the foundation. The rest of his profession would be learned over the ensuing years, with the solid support of the Domaine team. He now knows the Commanderie de Peyrassol inside out, and for the last 20 years has taken a methodical and sensitive approach to running this business.
