Chateau Sainte Barbe was built between 1760 and 1770 by Jean-Baptist Lynch.
The Lynch family arrived in Bordeaux at the end of the 17th Century,
fleeing religious persecution in Ireland. The family owned several wine
merchants and Châteaux and reached the highest positions in Bordeaux
society. Jean-Baptiste Lynch himself became Mayor of Bordeaux between
1809 and 1815.

 Un vin de belle structure, charpenté, dense, très représentatif de caractère affirmé de la personnalité des vins rouges de cette appellation.
A l'étonnant rapport Qualité - Prix - Plaisir.
Un vin qui commence vraiment à s'épanouir après deux ou trois années de bouteille, et qui convient à la table avec grillades, rôtis de boeuf, plats mijotés, volailles et fromage.

 Château Lieujean has been producing a stylish and lively Haut Medoc with aroma and intense bouquet.
Gravel beds, clay and sandy soils give a very classical Medoc touch to these grape varieties.
The wines have a tannic structure which is characteristic of the great
Medoc wines, while keeping a very fruity flavour with a light hint of
wood.

 Locally, Boscq means a high spot.
In the village of Saint Christoly, on the riverside of the Garonne, Château Leboscq is a hilly vineyard as high as 25m.
The Château Leboscq vineyard being always early, given micro climatic conditions, the vineyard acts for us as an indicator.

 The will of Jean MALLET and Hervé ROMAT is sumarized in itself with the acquisition of CHÂTEAU GRAND-MAISON, modest by the size but very interesting by the soil, with modern materials and technics; of sorting out vintage, of vinification, of selection and maturing with for the best expression of a kind idea of wine, by specific mineral flavours of this original soil, with a lot of fruits, florals and spiced expressions, giving tasting wines... as they are liked !
Wines of pleasure to share, as much for the “Grand Vin CHÂTEAU GRAND-MAISON”, than the Château Grand-Maison "Valades".

 We picked the trail of the Chevalier d'Aux in 1632.
Parent of the Count of Armagnac, this family already owned a renowned
vineyard
where stagecoaches were stopping. They were called « pataches ». Since
then, this patache has become the logo of the company, it figures on
all the labels of château Patache d'Aux, and recalls the time when
human activity was based on the seasons.
Nowadays, lots of technical evolutions have been
integrated in our activity but we are still depending on climatic
changes as we stay humble in front of nature.

Sainte Barbe is situated on the peninsular of Ambès 20 kms from Bordeaux.
Despite its proximity, this was a region that we had never visited
before. Over the last century the district had become industrialised
leaving only a scattering of large bourgeois homes that had been very
prestigeous in the nineteenth century.

 The Sainte Barbe vineyards currently cover 30 hectares of gravelly, alluvial soils on the right bank of the Garonne, some 20km north of Bordeaux.
The majority of the vineyards have been replanted since we acquired the estate in 1999.
80% of the vineyard is made up of Merlot, with the remaining 20% divided between Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
Plantation densities vary from 4500 to 5500 vines per hectare depending on the characteristics of the soil. The choice of rootstock (Riparia 101.14-3309) and quality clones (Merlot clones 181-343-347) was made specifically taking into account the soils of Sainte Barbe.

Une véritable curiosité que ce Bordeaux Clairet, vinifié comme un vin rouge léger.
Du fruit, de la fraicheur, de la tendresse. Ce qui n'exclut pas équilibre et caractère.
Idéal en été, à l'apéritif, avec buffets froids et grillades.
A boire dans les deux ans qui suivent sa naissance.

 Un vin blanc exceptionnel, particulièrement aromatique. Il accompagne avec superbe, fruits de mer et poissons grillés. A déguster dans les trois ans pour sa fraicheur, mais aussi à garder, car il évolue tout en rondeur et équilibre en bouteille. Un vin frais, fruité, très légèrement acidulé et qui démontre de façon éclatante le renouveau qualitatif des vins blanc de l'Entre-Deux-Mers. |

Around a beautiful mansion house built in 1834 the vineyard was created
between 1979 and 1982. Overlooking the estuary of the Gironde, it is
lying less then 10 kms from the Ocean which regulates its climate.
Private property of Jean-Michel Lapalu, the Château was added to the other possessions of the Lapalu Group in 1996.
