At the heart of Château Cazebonne, a community of wine ambassadors gathers under the banner of "Les Amis de Cazebonne". More than just a club, it is a true circle of enthusiasts who actively invest in the life of the estate by becoming owners of a parcel of our vines. This unique initiative strengthens the bonds between the land, the wine and those who cherish it.

The genesis of a unique club

The "Les Amis de Cazebonne" club was born from a desire for sharing and transparency. We wanted to open the doors of our estate to those who share our philosophy and our love for Bordeaux wine. Each member, by acquiring a parcel, becomes a fully-fledged participant in our adventure, from the vine cycle to the crafting of the cuvées. It is a way to experience from the inside the revival of our terroir and the resurrection of forgotten grape varieties.

An annual gathering rooted in exchange

The annual Les Amis de Cazebonne event is a highlight, a true celebration where tasting our wines blends with enriching exchanges. It is an opportunity for wonderful encounters, discussing the specificities of each vintage, the climate challenges impacting our vines and the philosophy guiding our biodynamic approach. These days are a privileged immersion into the heart of our passion, allowing everyone to better understand the soul of Cazebonne and our team's commitment. Discussions often focus on the preservation of biodiversity and the respect for living soils, themes dear to the estate.

The anecdote of the first participatory harvest

A memorable anecdote concerns the very first participatory harvest organised with our Amis. On a particularly sunny autumn day, several club members put on their boots to pick grapes alongside our winegrowers. Beyond the physical effort, it was a moment of intense joy and sharing, where everyone could concretely experience the work of the harvest. The laughter and exchanges left a lasting impression, perfectly illustrating the spirit of conviviality and commitment that drives us.

A word from a friend

As one of our Amis, Mr Dupont, so aptly expressed during our last meeting: "Owning a little piece of vineyard at Cazebonne is not just investing in wine; it is participating in a story, that of the rebirth of a unique viticultural heritage in Bordeaux. Each bottle tasted is then imbued with a very special meaning, a direct link to the land and the shared effort." His testimony sums up this deep and sincere attachment.

A commitment to the rebirth of Bordeaux's viticultural heritage

At Cazebonne, our ambition goes beyond producing quality wines. We have chosen to embark on a bold approach: replanting forgotten grape varieties in Bordeaux. This ambitious project is possible thanks to the support and enthusiasm of our many wine lovers. Your trust in our wines is the driving force behind this rebirth, which aims to rehabilitate grape varieties such as Mancin, Castets or Pardotte. To learn more about this fascinating history of Bordeaux's forgotten grape varieties and our research work, we invite you to download our digital version of the book "Bordeaux, une histoire de cépages" and test your knowledge with our oenological quizzes.
