CHÂTEAU LA PIROUETTE

Château Pirouette is located in the extreme north of the Médoc, in the last vineyards before the ocean on well exposed gravelly soil. The château takes its name from the locality in which it is located. Michèle Roux has been the head of this 30ha of this estate since 1998 and is passionate about oenology and horses.

CHâTEAU Phélan SéGUR

Since 1985, the Gardinier brothers have ensured the prestige of the château and its heritage. The vineyard of Château Phélan Ségur covers 70 hectares of magnificent clay-gravel soils on the hills and plateaux of Saint-Estèphe. Created in 1986, Frank Phélan, the second wine of the château, bears the name of the son of Bernard Phélan, founder of the estate. Frank Phélan comes from 15 hectares of old vines and a selection of vines of less than ten years. It undergoes 14 months ageing and its roundness and suppleness allow it to be enjoyed from a young age.

Josephine de Boyd

The name “Boyd” dates from the middle of the 18th century. In 1754, Lord Jacques Boyd, bought Castelnau de Médoc- the grounds of Sieur Berndard de Sainvincens as well as founded the famous field of “Boyd-Cantenac” that became a classified third growth in 1855. Since 1932, the field has belonged to the Guillemet family. The 17-hectare property has 10,000 vines per hectare. The soil is mostly gravel and sand, and the vines average around 40 years of age with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot. Vinification takes place in both temperature-controlled, stainless-steel vats and concrete tanks. The wines are aged for 12 to 18 months in oak, of which 30-60% is new.

Château Franc Grâce-Dieu

Franc Grâce-Dieu is a 12 hectare Saint-Emilion Grand Cru estate. It’s situated near Château Figeac and is only 2 kilometers from Cheval Blanc. It benefits from a complex soil structure of brown sand, iron deposits in the subsoil and clay. It follows along the traditional Saint-Emilion properties with a grape variety proportion of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc.

Château Croix de Labrie

Axelle & Pierre Courdurié are the owners and winemakers of Château Croix de Labrie, certified 100% organic. Axelle (pictured top) is the alchemist of the estate. She oversees the vineyard from pruning to harvest including the hand-picking of the grapes and the traditional vinification in vats and French oak barrels.

The vineyards are located in: Badon (next to Pavie), Le Cateau in Saint Sulpice (next to the first plot of Valandraud), and in Saint Christophe des Bardes next to their cellar (dating back to 1687). The Badon terroir is composed of limestone sand and clay with a clay-limestone subsoil and iron grim. This well-drained, very fine terroir brings finesse. The plot of Le Cateau is composed of gravel with clay which brings more depth and density. Finally, the plots of Saint Christophe des Bardes, on the plateau, are characterized by clay-limestone soil imparting complexity and density. The property's main grape variety is Merlot but also includes Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Production: 650-750 cases annually.

Château Mazeyres

Château Mazeyres, located in the heart of Libourne, is very closely linked to the history of Pomerol, a village that existed during Roman times. In 1992, Alain Moueix, a viticultural engineer and oenologist, was entrusted with the management of Château Mazeyres. Fourth generation of a Libourne family of winegrowers and wine merchants, he brought his skill and expertise derived from this region. From an exceptional terroir within the prestigious appellation of Pomerol, the wines of Château Mazeyres are appreciated on the five continents of the world for their elegance and delicacy.

Château Moulin DE Lagut

Château Moulin de Lagut has been in the Bergerie family for three generations. Purchased in 1968, the property only included 4 hectares of uncultivated vines. The vineyard was restored and extended through successive purchases until reaching its current size of 24 hectares, planted on a well-exposed gravel-clay slope, facing Saint Emilion. Thierry Bergerie has taken over from his father and manages his vineyard with respect for the principles of integrated farming.

Château haut-guillebot

Since 1790, the property has been passed on from mother to daughter. We have been growing for seven generations: Château Haut Guillebot, Château Montet and Martinot. Marie-Christine Labouille, the current owner, is the seventh generation to grow the vines of the château and to produce fine, elegant and fruity Bordeaux wines. Building on the work of her mother and grandmother, she has developed the vineyard to its current size of 55 hectares. The vineyard is located on the hillsides near Saint-Emilion, benefiting from an amazing terroir and from a clay and limestone soil in the Entre-Deux-Mers appellation area.

Château Moulin de Launay

Belonging to Claude and Bernard Greffier, the estate is entirely family-run and has produced exclusively dry white wine for four generations. The balance between regional varieties, the constant care given to the vines, and improved vinification techniques, guarantees the highest quality standards. At an average of 25 years old, the vines are quite mature for a wine of this type- and mature vines mean better wine, albeit in smaller volumes.

Château Saint Seurin

Château Saint Seurin has been a well-known estate since the 15th century. Today, Renaud & Claire Jean operate this 75-hectare estate located in the AOC Bordeaux & Bordeaux Supérieur appellation. The old vineyards include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from clay-loam soil.
