Château de Seguin

Château de Seguin in its current form, with its two pointed towers and very large, was built in 1780.

The History of Chateau de Seguin is actually much older, since we go back a thousand years earlier, in 780 exactly, to find traces of the Count of Seguin, Administrator of the Emperor Charlemagne. 

A very old noble past is tied to this land, and the impressive number of buildings shows that the property was dedicated to agriculture, livestock and wine.

The vineyard of 95 hectares in one single block is composed of 91.5 hectares of vines producing Red AOC Bordeaux Supérieur and 3.5 ha producing White AOC Bordeaux and AOC Crémant de Bordeaux.

The terroir of Chateau De Seguin consists of a mosaic of soils typical of the wine geology of the Entre Deux Mers area. Essentially, it is clayey-calcareous basement strongly stony slopes and sometimes accentuated. According to the plots, there are reports of heavy clay soils and, to own a good expression of the Merlot, and always warm and filter lighter soils, sometimes sandy, sometimes rocky, sometimes muddy, where Cabernet find its ground of election.

Red Bordeaux Supérieur grape varieties:

• 57% Merlot
• 31% Cabernet Sauvignon
• 11% Cabernet Franc
• 1% Petit Verdot

White Bordeaux grape varieties:

• 40% Semillon
• 37% Sauvignon Blanc
• 23% Sauvignon Gris

The numerous and extensive cellars allow us to work in optimal conditions during winemaking, maturing and the ageing of our wines.

The vinification cellars have forty thermo-regulated vats allowing our cellar master to exercise his talent as a winemaker. The large number of fermentation tanks can closely follow each plot and each grape variety before blending.

The ageing in barrels, for a period of 12 months, takes place in four magnificent cellars which can contain up to 1200 barrels.

After bottling at the Chateau, the bottles will be stored in the best conditions of temperature, humidity, in our quiet and dark cellars before joining your cellars and your tables across the world.
