THE ESTATE

A HISTORIC ESTATE IN THE GRAVES

Set on the left bank of the Garonne, in Saint-Pierre-de-Mons within the Graves appellation, Château Cazebonne covers close to 30 hectares and is one of the oldest estates in the village. Vines have thrived here since the Middle Ages on historic plots — Grand Cazebonne, Peyron, Bouché, Darche, Le Maine — and as early as the 14th century its wines were shipped from Langon to England and Northern Europe, contributing to the fame of Bordeaux claret. Gravel, sand and clay over limestone subsoils: every parcel offers a unique geological signature, between aromatic finesse and mineral depth.

OUR MISSION

REPLANTING THE GRAPES OF THE PAST

Before phylloxera, Bordeaux grew dozens of different grape varieties. Most disappeared in favour of a handful of them. Our mission is to replant those historic varieties, parcel after parcel, to give Bordeaux back its original complexity: Blanc Auba, Sauvignonasse, Pardotte, Castets, Mancin, Saint-Macaire, Jurançon noir — flavours forgotten for more than a century.
