Looking for a fine Graves wine? The Graves appellation, the historic birthplace of the Bordeaux vineyards, is renowned for the finesse and elegance of its wines, whether red or dry white.

The Essence of Cazebonne Quality

What Makes Cazebonne Wines So Distinctive and High Quality?

• An Exceptional Terroir: We benefit from the rich soils of Graves – pebbles, gravel, sands, clays, and limestone – which impart our wines with their singular finesse, minerality, and superb ageing potential. Each sip invites you to explore the complexity of this unique terroir, shaped by millions of years of geological history. Discover the respect for terroir at Cazebonne.
• Respectful Viticulture: Committed to Organic and Biodynamic Agriculture, we farm our vineyards without synthetic chemicals, actively encouraging soil life and biodiversity. This holistic approach, where every intervention is designed to maintain ecosystem balance, guarantees healthy, well-balanced grapes – the cornerstone of an exceptional wine. To find out more, explore our approach to biodynamic Bordeaux.
• Meticulous Vinification: In our cellars, we favour a low-interventionist philosophy. Our fermentations are carried out using indigenous yeasts – the naturally occurring micro-organisms on the grape skins – which allow for a more faithful expression of our terroir. The use of sulphur is kept to an absolute minimum to preserve fruit purity and the truest expression of our identity.
• The Wealth of Classic Grape Varieties: We have mastered the art of the Bordeaux blend, using Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc for the reds; and Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc for the whites. These flagship grape varieties enable us to craft classic, elegant, and well-balanced Graves, such as our Graves Rouge or our Blanc de Cazebonne, both praised by wine critics (as evidenced by our first star in the Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France by La Revue du Vin de France - RVF).
• The Originality of Forgotten Grape Varieties: What makes Cazebonne truly unique is our passionate project to revive forgotten grape varieties. Our cuvées made from varieties once common but long vanished from the Bordeaux viticultural landscape – such as Mancin, Castets, and Saint-Macaire, among others – offer an extra dimension, an authentic and novel profile that redefines the Graves wine experience. It is a return to our roots, an exploration of the flavours that shaped the history of Bordeaux wine, as highlighted by Jean-Baptiste Duquesne in his book "Bordeaux, une histoire de cépages" (Éditions BBD). This work sheds light on the richness and diversity of Bordeaux's ampelographic heritage, part of which we strive to bring back to life.
