Choosing the wines is a crucial step in wedding planning. More than just a drink, wine reflects your personality, acts as the common thread throughout your wedding meal, and is a key element in making a lasting impression on your guests. If you are looking for Bordeaux wines combining quality, authenticity, a touch of originality, and excellent value for money, Château Cazebonne, an independent organic and biodynamic winegrower in Graves, offers a perfect range to celebrate this unique day.

Originality and history for your guests

Step off the beaten track and surprise your guests with wines that tell a fascinating story! At Château Cazebonne, our project to replant forgotten Bordeaux grape varieties allows us to craft unique, sometimes unusual cuvées made from varieties such as Mancin, Castets, or Saint-Macaire. These grape varieties, which once made up the richness of the Bordeaux region, offer singular aromatic profiles and captivating anecdotes—ideal for sparking conversation and leaving a lasting impression on your guests.

Recognised quality and certified authenticity

Our wines are the result of work that respects the terroir and nature. Certified organic and biodynamic, they offer a pure and vibrant expression of Graves, with freshness, finesse, and strong character. This commitment to quality was also rewarded with our first star in the prestigious Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France (La Revue du Vin de France). This distinction highlights the consistent quality of our wines and positions us favourably, even alongside many Pessac-Léognan crus classés featured in the same guide. In addition, our approach limits the addition of sulphur, resulting in more digestible wines enjoyed by a wide range of guests.

Excellent value for money for your wedding

As independent winegrowers selling directly, we are proud to offer wines of recognised high quality at fair prices. A major asset for your wedding budget, allowing you to provide the best without compromise.

A range for every moment of the celebration

• Drinks reception / Aperitif: Our Pet'Nats (Gaz'bonne, Bul'bonne) will bring a festive and original touch, while our dry, crisp, and aromatic Graves Blanc will be perfect for an elegant start.
• Meal (Starter / Fish): Our Graves Blanc, or for a bolder choice, our skin-contact (orange) wine, will accompany your dishes with personality.
• Meal (Meat / Cheese): Our Graves Rouges, such as Château Cazebonne Rouge (fruity and elegant) or Les Galets de Cazebonne (more structured), will pair wonderfully. Do not hesitate to explore our forgotten grape variety cuvées (Mancin, Castets, etc.) for a surprising alternative.

Occasions during the wedding celebration

A wedding consists of several key moments, each calling for a different style of wine. From the drinks reception to dessert, through the main course and cheese course, varying the pleasures is essential. A crisp, lively white wine will be ideal for the aperitif or light starters, while a more structured red wine will enhance meats. Rosé wines can also have their place, especially for summer buffets.

What aromatic profile for your wedding wine?

The aromatic profile of the selected wines should harmonise with the food, but also with the overall desired ambiance. For a drinks reception, favour fresh, fruity aromas that whet the appetite. For the main course, opt for more complex notes of red fruit, spice, or subtle oak depending on the meat. The key is to create balance and offer variety that will appeal to the greatest number of guests.

Château Cazebonne cuvées for your wedding

Château Cazebonne supports you in this selection with wines tailored to each moment. Our Graves Blancs, with their freshness and citrus and floral notes, are perfect for welcoming guests. For the meal, our Graves Rouges offer a range from crunchy fruit to more complex structures, ideal for red meat or cheese. Our Pet'Nats, with their fine bubbles, are a sparkling and original option for the reception or dessert.

Serving temperature and decanting: secrets of successful wine service

Serving temperature is crucial to revealing all of a wine's qualities. White wines and Pet'Nats are best served chilled, between 8°C and 12°C. Red wines, meanwhile, are generally best enjoyed between 16°C and 18°C. Decanting can be considered for our more structured Graves Rouges to aerate them and enhance their aromas a few hours before service. Do not hesitate to ask during your tastings.

Alternatives for a personal touch

If you wish to surprise your guests beyond classic Grands Crus, consider ancient grape varieties and orange wines. Château Cazebonne’s orange wine, for instance, offers a unique tasting experience with its amber hues and delicate tannins, ideal for daring pairings. Our cuvées made from forgotten grape varieties tell a story and bring undeniable originality to your reception.

Cazebonne's tip for a memorable wedding

To make your wine selection an unforgettable memory, offer a tutored tasting during the drinks reception. Introduce the history of Château Cazebonne's ancient grape varieties and the estate's biodynamic commitment. This adds a cultural and interactive dimension that will leave a lasting impression on your guests and bring soul to your wedding meal.

Choosing Château Cazebonne for your wedding means offering your guests authentic Bordeaux wines, renowned for their quality, offered at excellent value for money, crafted with passion and dedication, and truly off the beaten track.
