Vignobles Mercadier

Former manager of Château Suduiraut, a Sauternes Premier Cru Classé, Philippe Mercadier took over Château Haut Coustet in 1996, founding Vignobles Philippe Mercadier. The properties that make up Vignobles Mercadier stretch from north to south across three of the appellation's five communes. For several years now, Philippe and his wife Emilie's son Paul has been running the Vignobles Mercadier estates: Château Haut-Coustet, Château Pechon, Château Tuyttens, and Château de Veyres. That's 50 hectares in the Sauternes appellation. Both see themselves as a little crazy, but they love and believe deeply in this wine and their products. It is this desire and passion that drives them. Each of the wines has its own unique characteristics, expressing the very essence of its terroir. The winemaking couple preserves and strives to enhance the uniqueness of their wines, all of which are made and aged with deep love. This is an essential ingredient for creating pleasure and offering a new perspective on Sauternes. Sauternes is a magical wine, to be enjoyed on any occasion without a second thought.
