Château de Chelivette

The estate is one of the oldest in Gironde, the 16th century Château being built on the foundations of a 13th century fortified castle. The vineyard, magnificently exposed, slopes down to the hillsides and was already exploited by the Jesuits in the 17th century. Located on the watershed, no less than five different terroirs coexist here. After new plantations, there are now six varieties in black and white. In addition, as the border between the communes of Ste Eulalie and St Loubes passes through the middle of the property, two appellations are present: Bordeaux Supérieur and Côtes de Bordeaux.

Our story

It was a crush that led us to this adventure, the historical and natural heritage present on the property giving it a special atmosphere. The estate is composed of meadows, shrubs, hedges, century-old trees allowing a natural protection of the vine by hosting a small fauna that helps to regulate the parasites of the vineyard. It is nature itself in its diversity that best protects the vine. Thousands of shrubs and fruit trees have been planted to recreate forest corridors suitable for birds and insects.
