Chateau Hostens-Picant

All the work at the estate is focused on taming the vineyard. It is essential to listen to it, to let it live at its own pace and to breathe in the energy necessary to reveal its full potential. The multi-exposure of the parcels where the trays and slopes follow each other ensures the optimal quality of the grapes. The soil is mainly clay-limestone and allows the wines of Château to assert their power and length in the mouth. Flint, on the other hand, offers a beautiful tonicity and an ideal minerality for the elegance and balance of the wines.

The grape varieties produced at the estate are as follows: - White grape variety: sauvignon blanc et gris, sémillon and muscadelle; - Black grape variety: merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon.

All the work on the vine is done in accordance with the principles of sustainable agriculture. It is a daily commitment that is fully rooted in the philosophy of the field: "Quality, quality, quality, quality again!"

Our story

In 1986, we made the crazy bet to make the head of the Hostens-Picant estate and to revive a forgotten terroir of the great Bordeaux appellations. It was a real favorite... The origin of this vast residence dates back to 1460, 7 years after the end of the Hundred Years' War.

First called Château des Granges, at the beginning of the 19th century, it became Château de Grangeneuve and, in 1990, Château Hostens-Picant, a name given by Yves in honour of his ancestors.

Today, it is our youngest daughter Valentine who is dedicated to defending the beautiful values and generous and demanding approach of the property.
