Chateau De Thau
​ AOP Côtes de Bourg
In the twelfth century
The first stones of the Chateau de Thau are laid at the very beginning of the area of English Aquitaine.
At that time, Bordeaux wines were sent to the British court.
​
In 1700
We could there to arrive by boat thanks to the peyrat located below and decorated with two pavilions.
An inventory reveals that the cellar had three presses, two crushers, three vats and 8 douillats (these are also vats),
28 full barrels" of another red wine" and "21 barrels of beverage for the workers".
​
In 1963
We redeem this emblematic castle of the Bourgeais, fallen into disrepair after the French Revolution, with the firm intention of restoring his greatness.
There follows a heavy work of restructuring the vines and the renovation of the cellars.
To allow the terroir to deliver the best of its potential, we have appeal at vinification techniques combining modernity and traditions.
