| Born at Château de Laubade, the Lesgourgues vineyards represent today an ensemble of six prestigious estates, from the Bas Armagnac to Uruguay, and from Madiran to Bordeaux and right into the heart of the Graves. Today, Arnaud and Denis Lesgourgues are pursuing the path traced over the past three generations by their father Jean-Jacques: a sustainable agriculture respecting the biodiversity, a quality follow-up through product authenticity and respect of the terroirs. Their mission is to produce high quality wines and armagnacs. Furthermore, their ambition is to respond to client’s demands as well as current and future consumers’ expectations ” Château Cadillac On a terroir where Merlot is king, Château Cadillac is a reference of quality. Château Cadillac is a single-vineyard estate of the 16 th century, located near Fronsac on the same geographical axis as Saint-Emilion. The property is made out of two types of soils: a clay/limestone plateau (20%) and “molasses du Fronsadais” on the slopes (80%). Château Haut Selve Château Haut Selve is the unique creation of a vineyard in Bordeaux area in the 20 th century. Planted on an exceptional terroir, equivalent to those of the Grands Crus Classés, Château Haut Selve quickly became a key player in the Graves AOC. Since its 1996 vintage, Château Haut Selve has always been top rated at the “Trophée des Graves”, whether it is for its red or white wines. |
