Chateau
Du Seuil
Chateau du Seuil, located 35km south east of Bordeaux,
is one of the most elegant country houses on the
left bank of the Garonne river. The estate of Chateau
du Seuil encompasses a total of 25 hectares of vines
of which approximately 65 percent are planted in
red varieties of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and
35 percent in the white varieties of Semillon and
Sauvignon Blanc. There are 15 hectares in the Graves
appellation and 10 hectares in the Premières C?tes
de Bordeaux appellation. Average vine age across
the whole estate is approximately 30 years. Their
objective with Héritage du Seuil is not only to
fully recognize the potential for certain parcels
of fruit but also to produce a different more concentrated
and complex style of wine. It is not their intention
to produce this wine every year but rather when
it is warranted by the strength of the pending vintage.
