At Château Cazebonne, our passion for wine is fuelled by a precious alliance: the one we maintain with wine merchants. True artisans of taste and storytellers, they are the essential links that connect our cuvées to your glasses. It is thanks to their expertise, their enthusiasm, and their ability to unearth hidden gems that our wines find their way to the palates of enlightened enthusiasts. We express our sincere gratitude for their trust and the commitment they show in presenting our wines with such conviction.

Find on this page the list of wine merchants who trust us and offer you the cuvées of Château Cazebonne. Each of them is a fervent defender of the terroir and authenticity, sharing our vision of a wine that tells a story, that of a land and a know-how. These privileged partners are true experts, capable of guiding you in discovering our wines, explaining our environmentally friendly cultivation methods, and the originality of our grape variety choices.

From wine craftsmanship to expert advice

Beyond the simple commercial transaction, the wine merchant embodies the role of advisor and mediator between the producer and the consumer. They are not just a retailer, but a true ambassador who selects wines reflecting a qualitative approach and a philosophy. In this sense, the wine merchants who choose to offer the wines of Cazebonne adhere to our commitment to biodynamic viticulture and the promotion of forgotten Bordeaux grape varieties. Their role is essential in explaining the uniqueness of our cuvées, the result of rigorous work and a constant search for authenticity.

A shared commitment to promoting the Bordeaux wine heritage

Our approach at Château Cazebonne goes beyond the simple production of wine. We have embarked on an adventure to rediscover and rehabilitate the forgotten grape varieties of Bordeaux. Inspired by writings and research, notably those found in the book "Bordeaux, une histoire de cépages" by Jean-Baptiste Duquesne (Éditions BBD), we have undertaken to replant ancestral varieties that once made up the richness and diversity of our region. Grape varieties such as Castets, Mancin, or even Camaralet, abandoned over time and trends, are today regaining their former glory in our vines. This pioneering work, which relies on a deep understanding of Bordeaux's ampelographic history, aims to restore the vineyard's full aromatic plurality.

The wine merchant, an actor in the ampelographic rediscovery

This long-term undertaking, a true tribute to the Bordeaux wine heritage, would not be possible without the precious support of our partner wine merchants and all the enthusiasts who have adopted our wines. It is their curiosity, their taste for originality, and their trust in our commitment that allow us to pursue this essential mission: bringing the history of the Bordeaux vineyard back to life through unique and expressive cuvées. The wine merchant, through their ability to educate and surprise their clientele, becomes a crucial link in the chain of this rediscovery. They are our allies in the renaissance of ancient grape varieties, such as Castets or Mancin, presenting them with passion and explaining their history to consumers.

An anecdote: when a wine merchant inspires a cuvée

We remember one of our partner wine merchants, passionate about historic grape varieties, who, during a tasting, challenged us to create a single-varietal cuvée from an old Carmenère vine discovered in our plots. This challenge was the starting point for our single-plot cuvées, allowing us to explore and highlight unique expressions of lesser-known grape varieties.

A word from the wine merchant: "Telling the story behind every bottle"

During a recent conversation, one of our wine merchants perfectly summarised their role: "My job is to tell the story behind every bottle. With Château Cazebonne, each wine is a new page in the great book of Bordeaux that I can share with my customers." This phrase perfectly illustrates the symbiosis and mutual understanding that unite Château Cazebonne with its wine merchant partners.

In short, this synergy between Château Cazebonne and its wine merchant partners is the driving force behind a bold viticulture that respects its heritage, bringing the history of the Bordeaux vineyard back to life through unique and expressive cuvées. Each bottle you taste is an invitation to travel back in time, an exploration of forgotten flavours, and a support for this essential mission.
