Anecdotes about the domain
This beautiful renaissance will be told to you with passion by the owner of the Château himself if you visit the farm. Indeed, Alain Blasquez gives visits to his estate and tasting of his wines personally.
The domain's short story
Château Baudan is above all the story of a renaissance. According to our research, it was Pierre Sauts who, in 1850 in Listrac, began to exploit the vineyard as we know it today. His son Claude then took over the management of the estate, which he developed until his untimely death. It was in 1993 that Alain Blasquez, great grandson of Pierre Sauts, converted and decided to relaunch the operation of his winery: a challenge he took up without hesitation. After several purchases of plots and plantations, Château Baudan gradually regains its letters of nobility. Today, 9 hectares of vines are cultivated by the owners, supported by their oenologist Marc Quertinier. In 2013, all their work to rehabilitate the estate is devoted to their classification as a Cru Bourgeois.
The winemaker's pride
The vineyard is located in Listrac-Médoc, in the appellation of the same name: the real Bordeaux! On a little more than 10 hectares, we cultivate cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. Our terroir is particular since our soil is composed of gravel called "de Baudan": the name of the domain is directly derived from it. Thanks to our collaboration with our oenologist Marc Quertinier, we are now classified as a Cru Bourgeois: the renaissance of the estate is well and truly complete. Today, the wines produced are completely in the air. They are characterized by an elegant, ample and ruby color and notes of red fruits with melted tannins.
