Our favourites: the soul of Cazebonne

Welcome to our privileged space, where we share with you what makes Château Cazebonne tick, what fuels our passion and nourishes our quest for excellence. Here, every favourite is a joy, a discovery, a satisfaction that we wish to celebrate alongside you.

These favourites can take many forms: the blossoming of a vine thought to have disappeared, the richness of a new vintage revealing unexpected aromas, an inspiring encounter with a winemaker who shares our values, or the sincere appreciation of a wine lover. Every moment counts and enriches our history.

Beyond the flavours, our favourites resonate with a deeper vision: that of biodiversity and viticultural heritage. The Bordeaux vineyard, rich in history, has seen some of its traditional grape varieties fade away over the centuries. It is with immense pride that Château Cazebonne has embarked on a pioneering and essential approach: the reintroduction of these forgotten grape varieties. We are meticulously replanting these ancestral varieties, which once created the richness and diversity of Bordeaux wines, but are now all too rarely found today.

This meticulous work, this resurrection of a living heritage, is only possible thanks to your support. By choosing Château Cazebonne wines, you play an active role in this renaissance, this exploration of authentic flavours, and this preservation of Bordeaux's winemaking history.

To deepen your knowledge of this fascinating subject of historic grape varieties, we invite you to receive by email the digital version of the book "Bordeaux, une histoire de cépages", published by Éditions BBD and superbly written by Jean-Baptiste Duquesne, by visiting our website: receive the digital version. A captivating read that sheds light on our approach and that of an entire region.

The pleasure of food and wine pairing

For us, every bottle of Château Cazebonne is an invitation to discover and share. When we talk about our favourites, we also mean those magical moments when a wine meets the ideal dish, creating an unforgettable tasting harmony. It is in this spirit that we love to explore food and wine pairings, to elevate every experience. Finding the perfect Bordeaux wine for a cheese board or the ideal companion for a barbecue is part of the simple pleasures that drive us.

A scent of success in your glass

The aromatic profile we seek in our wines, whether from historic grape varieties or iconic Bordeaux varieties like Merlot or Cabernet-Sauvignon, is always one of balance and complexity. We favour wines that express fruit purity, a beautiful freshness, and an elegance that transcends time. It is meticulous work that begins in the vineyard, cultivating great biodiversity to enrich our terroirs.

Our favourite selections at Cazebonne

Among our cuvées, several embody this favourite spirit. The Entre amis cuvée, for example, is designed for moments of conviviality, offering a fruity and accessible aromatic palette. For lovers of more structured wines, the red wines of the Graves, often aged in barrels, reveal remarkable depth and ageing potential. Each cuvée is the fruit of our passion and commitment to exceptional organic wines.

The art of tasting: temperature and preparation

The art of tasting is an art that requires attention to detail. A wine reveals all its subtleties when served at the right temperature. For our reds, a temperature between 16 and 18°C is ideal, whilst our whites express their freshness between 10 and 12°C. Decanting can also be beneficial for some of our wines, allowing the aromas to open up and fully express themselves, especially for younger or more structured vintages. Do not hesitate to contact us for personalised advice.

Explore other tasting horizons

While our wines represent our favourites, we are equally curious to explore other types of wines. Orange wines, for instance, offer a unique experience with their extended macerations, and their pairing possibilities are surprising. The world of wine is vast and constantly drives us to discover new flavours and new approaches.

The secret of a great wine according to Cazebonne

Our winemaker's tip is simple: the greatest favourite comes from the earth, from respect for the soil and the plant. It is by cultivating our vines with love, fostering living soil and avoiding unnecessary inputs that we obtain grapes of exceptional quality. This then allows us to let the terroir and grape variety express themselves in the cellar, with as little intervention as possible. The secret lies in this philosophy of letting nature do its work, guided by the attentive hand of the winemaker.
