Anecdotes about the domain
Château Gaury Balette is an old Gironde building dating from the 19th century, whose restoration combines modernity and old stones. It is therefore a modern winery in an old place which allows us to apply the recent techniques of wine making in a place full of history.
The domain's short story
The vineyard is transmitted from generation to generation by a traditional enthronement. Bernard was inducted by the Connétablie de l'Entre-Deux-Mers and Marie-Claire by the Connétablie des Bordeaux et Bordeaux Supérieur during the traditional Wine Festivals. Their eldest son, Guillaume, is constable of Guyenne in Entre-Deux-Mers. For the YON family, the passion for wine is an enthronement on its own. Bernard, the current owner, is now teaching his younger brother Quentin the trade.
The winemaker's pride
Just a stone's throw away from the great wines, in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region, lies Château Gaury Balette. At 110 meters high, it is one of the highest wine growing points in the region! The vines grow in a clay-limestone soil, on south and south-east facing slopes and benefit from a sunny climate that is favorable to the development of the grapes.
