Estate
Built in the 19th century, the castle dominates the Souloire valley. The estate extends over 45 hectares of vines, forests and meadows. A blend of great homogeneity that characterizes the exceptional terroir located on the banks of the Dordogne in the Graves de Vayres appellation. Since its acquisition by Yves Glotin in 2015, a vineyard renewal program has been implemented.
Several plots have been replanted, the soils have been worked in order to aerate them and decompact them. A sustainable agriculture policy has been put in place. In the cellar the equipment has been renewed, in particular, with a more efficient sorting machine. All this with the aim of achieving the level of quality that this terroir deserves.

Tasting Notes
A white wine offering an original bouquet with an expressive style, nuanced between citrus touches from Sauvignon
and aromas of white peach from Sémillon. Very balanced on the palate, this cuvée has an acidity that gives
it great complexity.
