Claire Pefau

Winemakers with distant roots, masters in crafting dry and especially sweet white wines in Hungary’s Tokaj region, they seized the opportunity to pursue their dream: to create great red wines in Bordeaux. Instantly captivated by the place, they knew this estate was the one they had been searching for.

Introduction

Built in 1782, the magnificent Château de Clotte showcases the architectural grandeur of the Louis XV era. This jewel stands at the heart of a unique natural setting, where the deep green hues of pine trees contrast beautifully with the soft green of the vines.

Nestled among clay-limestone slopes and hills, the estate’s 35 hectares of contiguous vineyards lie on some of the most precious terroirs of Bordeaux’s Right Bank. The vines are planted with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec.

The mineral-rich soils give the grapes remarkable depth and complexity. The wooded hills surrounding the château create a natural microclimate, providing both protection and optimal growing conditions that allow the grapes to reach perfect ripeness.

We work in harmony with nature to create wines that truly reflect the unique character of our land.

Philosophy

We work in harmony with nature, applying sustainable farming practices to craft wines that faithfully reflect the unique character of our land. We care for our soils, our environment, our plant heritage, and the precious fruit that Mother Nature offers us each year.

Our philosophy is to reveal the full potential and richness of our terroirs, to create a deep connection between people and vines, and to leave a lasting impression through truly remarkable wines.
