Château Lacaussade Saint-Martin

Château Lacaussade Saint-Martin in the Bordeaux region has been owned by Jacques Chardat since 1991. The vineyard is located along the Gironde estuary, just opposite the Médoc Grands Crus Classés. The vines of Château Lacaussade Saint Martin arelocated on the first slopes bordering the river, benefiting from both mild temperatures and extraordinary luminosity.

The vineyards of Château Lacaussade Saint-Martin stretch along the famous limestone vein that runs north from Blaye, along the Gironde estuary. With just a few dozen centimetres of grey clay on the surface, mixed with limestone pebbles and superb sea urchin fossils, it is a poor terroir, ideal for Merlot and Cabernet vines.

Determination and the awareness of a prodigious terroir have driven Jacques Chardat to take the Château Lacaussade Saint-Martin vineyard by the horns, to make Premières Côtes de Blaye appellation wines full of seduction and grandeur.
