Comme un goût de... The fruity and generous expression of Cazebonne's terroir

The "Comme un goût de..." range embodies our vision of joyful, spontaneous viticulture—an exploration of pure fruit flavours. It is an ode to deliciousness and freshness, featuring cuvées crafted in a spirit of conviviality and immediate pleasure. These wines are perfect for any occasion, whether sharing a meal with friends or enjoying a well-deserved moment of relaxation. They stand out for their accessibility and their ability to deliver simple, authentic pleasure. For curious wine lovers eager for discovery, this range is an open door to the aromatic diversity of Bordeaux.

The authentic expression of our grape varieties

In this range, we highlight the intrinsic expression of each grape variety. Most of our wines are single-varietals, precisely revealing the unique aromatic character of each grape. Imagine a pure Merlot with crisp red fruit aromas, or a Cabernet Franc showing notes of raspberry and violet. This authenticity is what we seek: a purity of fruit that transports you straight to the heart of the vineyard. Our approach is rooted in a deep respect for the identity of each vine and the terroir of Cazebonne.

A tribute to Bordeaux's biodiversity

Beyond the iconic grape varieties of Bordeaux, this collection also reflects our commitment to biodiversity and the historical richness of our terroir. As Jean-Baptiste Duquesne highlights in "Bordeaux, une histoire de cépages", many varieties once cultivated across the region were gradually forgotten in favour of just a few. At Château Cazebonne, we are dedicated to reviving these forgotten grape varieties of Bordeaux. The "Comme un goût de..." range may soon introduce unique expressions of these heritage varieties brought back to life through our passionate work, such as the Saint-Macaire grape variety or the Béquignol grape variety. Our vision is to contribute to the revival of Bordeaux by celebrating this lost heritage. These cuvées offer a truly unusual wine in Bordeaux.

Respectful winemaking and tasting profile

These wines are crafted for tasting, designed to surprise and delight the palate with their aromatic clarity and balance. They are the result of respectful winemaking that preserves the full typicity of the fruit and the vitality of the terroir. This translates into intense aromas of fresh red or black fruit depending on the variety, sometimes accented by subtle floral or spicy notes. On the palate, their structure is well-balanced, showing lovely freshness and supple tannins for the reds, and lively acidity with pleasant roundness for the whites. Each bottle is an invitation to a sensory journey, discovering the myriad nuances our grapes have to offer.

Suggested food and wine pairings

Simplicity and spontaneity characterise these cuvées, making them remarkably versatile. They pair naturally with informal, convivial dining. The reds are ideal with grilled meats, a charcuterie platter, or fresh cheeses. The whites make excellent companions for seafood, summer salads, or poultry. The freshness of these wines also makes them wonderful for picnics or an aperitif with friends.
