In 1595, Louis Joseph d’Aqueria purchased an area in Tavel called « Puy Sablonneux » from the monk of the Abbey of Villeneuve les Avignon which was particularly suited to the cultivation of vines. His son Robert d’Aqueria, a hereditary Count palatine, built a home which, in the 18th century, became the Château as we know it today. After the Count d’Aqueria, numerous families took possession of the Château modifying it and constructing building as well as developing its vineyards. Throughout the centuries, the property nurtured its viticultural vocation so intrinsic to this famous terroir.
In 1919, the estate was purshased by a doctor of law, Jean Olivier. He passe dit on to his daughters, Mireille de Bez and Nicole Boccon-Gibod. His son in law, Paul de Bez took over management followed by his grandsons Vincent and Bruno. Three generation who put this historically significant place on the map as a stand out property of the Tavel and Lirac appellations.
In May 2022, the Guigal family took over the reins from the de Bez family, become next in line as owners of the Aqueria estate. Together with the team at the Château, their common goal is to preserve the history and the memory of the people of Aqueria who have accompanied these excellent terroirs throughout the years.
