Vincent Corpet exhibits at the Château de Jau

Destination Pyrénées-Orientales, in the foothills of the Corbières. The Domaine de Jau is a wine estate which hosts a restaurant and an exhibition hall.

Contemporary art space

The Dauré family has always had a definite interest in art, and especially contemporary art. Albert Dauré, Bernard's father, collected Impressionist paintings.

Sabine Dauré, Bernard's wife, was passionate about contemporary art, considering that there was an obvious relationship between art and wine. It is with this conviction that she created a contemporary art space in the mid-1970s. This is how the premises that housed the former silkworm were rehabilitated; they now constitute the exhibition halls. Sabine persuaded famous artists such as Tapies, Arman, César, Debre, Combas, or even Ben to exhibit their works in Jau.
