Appellation : Cadillac – Côtes de Bordeaux

Acquired by the Castel family in 1980, the Haut Coulon vineyards, located in the commune of Sainte-Eulalie, are planted with three classic noble Bordeaux grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. With its 3.86 ha in a single block of land, planted at a density of 7,200 vines per hectare, this, the smallest of the family’s domaines, possesses a priceless geological treasure: Montmorillonite blue clay soils (extremely rare clays of superior quality, rich in minerals). As for the winery, the Castel family decided to go for optimal extraction of tannins and aromas through the use of truncated cone-shaped vats, which they selected in a erated concrete, thus becoming a pioneer in the Bordeaux region in this regard. Château Haut Coulon is tended like a garden and aged like Grand Cru resulting in a bold wine with a distinctive style.
