WINES


 

Located at Landiras, 30 km south of Bordeaux, in the wine production area of the "Graves", the Château de Sauvage lies on a superb ten meters deep gravelo-sandy oil.

 

Vincent DUBOURG, the owner took over this wine estate after a long work of regrouping undertaken since three generations by the former winegrower.

 

The estate produces over 7 hectares a red, a dry and and a desert white wine. Priority is given to manual work from pruning to grape harvest whereas the work of the ground and the weeding are exclusively mechanical.

 

The spirit of  "Sauvage" is producing wines with an organic point of view never forgetting the aim : harvest fresh and ripe grapes. ; but nothing artificial will never be added to the soil. I swear. Moreover, I do eye each  year  the weed flora to infer the needs of the ground.

 

In order to reveal fruit aromas, the Château de Sauvage, built a brand new cellar in 2005 equipped with thermoregulation process, stainless steel vats and racks for barrels. Thus the estate offers to the amateur genuine Graves wines with its single taste, elaborated in the bordeaux art of making tradition.

 

The estate has been convertiing to organic farming since 2017
