Château de Monbadon

Château de Monbadon was built in the 14th century and is located in the town of Monbadon-Puisseguin, about 40 kilometers from Bordeaux. The Château de Monbadon’s 25-hectare vineyard (20 of which are currently in production) is located mostly on a clay-limestone plateau with a rocky subsoil, at an elevation of 109 meters above sea level—very close to one of the two highest points in the Gironde department: 114 meters.

The remainder of the vineyard stretches down a steep slope at the foot of the château. Double Guyot pruning, debudding, and leaf removal are practiced to ensure controlled yields. Treatments and soil amendments are carried out using natural products. The estate is currently in the process of converting to organic farming.

Château de Monbadon produces a Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux that can be enjoyed now or cellared for a few years.
