History of Château de Birazel

An exceptional terroir for excellent wines

Our vineyards flourish on clay-limestone and gravel slopes, giving our wines a beautiful minerality and unique complexity.

Biodiversity at the heart of our philosophy

At Château de Birazel, we firmly believe that the quality of our wines begins with the richness of our ecosystem. Our estate is a veritable sanctuary of biodiversity:

More than 120 mature trees, including some 100 precious species
Oak, hornbeam, cedar, lime, hazel and plane trees over a hundred years old
Truffle oaks and almond trees for a diversity of tastes
Beehives contributing to pollination and the health of our environment
Fields of lavender adding a Provencal touch to our Gironde landscape

This natural diversity reinforces the richness of our terroir and is reflected in the complexity of our wines.

Our grape varieties: the expression of Bordeaux diversity

Our vineyard cultivates a varied palette of grape varieties, each bringing its own unique touch to our blends:

Merlot: for roundness and red fruit aromas
Cabernet Sauvignon: for structure and tannins
Cabernet Franc: for finesse and spicy notes
Carménère: for complexity and peppery notes
Sauvignon Blanc: for freshness and citrus notes
Sauvignon Gris: for originality and exotic aromas

Innovation and tradition: our modern winery

In 2020, we inaugurated a state-of-the-art winery that combines respect for tradition with oenological innovation:

Carefully selected barrels and foudres for customized maturation

Concrete and stainless steel vats to preserve fruit purity

Clay amphorae for gentle, natural winemaking

Diamond" tanks for optimum extraction of aromas

This modern infrastructure enables us to sublimate each grape variety and create wines of remarkable finesse and complexity.
