Château Cazeau Le Moulin
AOC Vin de Bordeaux
Origin – terroir
Château Cazeau boasts a magnificent Girondine Charterhouse whose origins date back to the 16th century. It is ideally located in Gornac, on one of the oldest routes in Entre-Deux-Mers, just a few kilometers east of Sauveterre de Guyenne. Its vineyard of more than 300 hectares benefits from an exceptional location on clay-limestone slopes culminating at 110 meters altitude and mainly facing south. Planted all around the castle, the vines are judiciously divided between red and white grape varieties depending on the terroirs. With an average age of 35 years, they are cultivated with care, in the traditional way and with respect for their environment. The vast cellar has all the modern equipment (temperature control, pneumatic press, micro-oxygenation) necessary to produce great wines. The archives tell that the history of the Windmill overlooking the vineyard is closely linked to that of Château Cazeau. In fact, since it was built in 1601 by the owners of the time, the Mill still watches over the vines and the property 4 centuries later.

The palate offers a rich, smooth attack dominated by fruity aromas, taut tannins, well-integrated oak and a delicate touch of acidity that gives the wine its tension and length.
