The vineyard (terroir)

The Domaine des Graves d'Ardonneau vineyard lies close to the Gironde Estuary. The estate does not purchase external grapes, vinifying exclusively its own harvest.

Signature cuvées

The estate offers a diverse range of wines, including reds, dry whites, sweet wines, rosés, and sparkling wines. Among its offerings, the "Cuvée Prestige" is produced. A white "Prestige" wine has been crafted from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (90%) and Colombard (10%).

Vinification and ageing

For the ageing of certain white wines, oak barrels are used alongside ageing on the lees.
