Paris, the world capital of gastronomy and the art of living, is a showcase where the finest expressions of French vineyards come together. It is with immense pride that Château Cazebonne sees its wines feature on the finest tables and in the most sought-after cellars of the City of Light. Numerous Michelin-starred restaurants, welcoming bistros, and passionate wine merchants in the capital do us the honour of offering our cuvées, thus becoming invaluable ambassadors of our philosophy and our work.

Parisian partners, relays of a rediscovered tradition

These Parisian partners, discerning sommeliers and enlightened epicureans, are the first to grasp the uniqueness of our wines. They appreciate the boldness of our approach, which is to resurrect historic Bordeaux grape varieties that had fallen into oblivion but remain intrinsically linked to the identity of our terroir. They tell their guests the story of these grape varieties, such as Castets or Mancin, whose past richness and relevance are so well highlighted in Jean-Baptiste Duquesne's book, "Bordeaux, une histoire de cépages". For these professionals, our wines are not merely bottles, but invitations to travel, windows opening onto a different Bordeaux, bringing new aromatic and taste expressions.

Recognition of Cazebonne's commitment

Working with these major players on the Parisian scene is an acknowledgement of our commitment, a daily encouragement to pursue our quest for authenticity and excellence. Their informed choices allow a public of connoisseurs and curious enthusiasts to discover wines that go off the beaten track, wines that tell a story, that of a rediscovered viticultural heritage. It is thanks to their trust and the curiosity of their customers that Cazebonne's audacious gamble – replanting forgotten grape varieties in Bordeaux to reinvent its offering without denying its past – is on the way to being won.

The anecdote of an illuminating encounter

One day, during a Parisian trade fair, the sommelier of a renowned Michelin-starred restaurant tasted our Synergie cuvée. Intrigued by the aromatic complexity and surprising balance of this wine, he insisted on knowing the grape varieties. When we revealed the majority presence of Castets, he had a moment of sheer amazement before exclaiming: "This is a revolution! This forgotten grape variety brings incredible freshness and depth. My customers need to know about this." This reaction perfectly sums up the enthusiasm our wines generate in Paris and the relevance of our approach.

A shared vision of the future of wine

As one of our Parisian partner wine merchants so aptly put it: "Château Cazebonne's wines are living proof that innovation can take root in tradition. They remind us that the past of the Bordeaux vineyards is rich and still harbours many treasures to be rediscovered for the greatest pleasure of today's wine lovers."

This pioneering work is possible thanks to the unwavering support of a growing community of wine lovers who have embraced our wines and our vision. Every bottle tasted in Paris, or elsewhere, is a building block in this viticultural renaissance.
