The sources consulted do not give the history of the Château de Tauziès itself, so this page concentrates on the surrounding area. Gaillac is a thousand-year-old town enriched by farming, wine and woad, which left the imprint of pink brick on its historic centre and its nickname, the “Rose of the Midi”. Gaillac wine has an appellation d’origine contrôlée.
In the neighbouring vines stand other houses, such as the Château de Mauriac, founded in the 13th century and listed as a historic monument since 1972. The region combines brick villages, abbeys, wine châteaux and the great sights of the Albigeois.
