Château Cazeau 1560
AOC Vin de Bordeaux
ORIGIN – TERROIR
Château Cazeau is built around a beautiful chartreuse house dating back to the 16fh century. It is ideally situated in Gornac, one of the oldest roadways in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, just a few kilometers east of Sauveterre de Guyenne. Its 300 hectares of vines enjoy an exceptional setting on the clay-limestone hillsides, the peak of which lies at 110 metres above sea level and faces south. The vineyards surround the chateau and are carefully planted with either reel or white varietals depending on each specific terroir. The vines have an average age of 35 years and are carefully cultivated using traditional methods and with the utmost respect for the environment. The vast vat house is fitted with state of the art facilities including temperature monitoring, pneumatic press and micro-oxygenation in order to ensure the highest quality wines. This cuvée was produced in reference to the first written mention of the castle, dating from 1560, and pays homage to the five centuries of winemaking history, which have helped to forge today’s know-how.

TASTING
Beautiful in a limpid color with ruby reflections, Château Cazeau 1560 reveals a bouquet marked by black fruits, berries of the forest, underlined by a toasted oak.
The attack is tender and gives way to an elegant structure where vanilla notes dominate and stretch out onto a long, warm finish with aromas of fig jam.
