Presentation of an AOC Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux leader

Château Lacaussade Saint-Martin is a wonderful property which originated in the 19th century. Bought in 1991 by Jacques and Sabrina CHARDAT, the vineyard of 18 hectares has been progressively extended with purchase of plots and new plantings to extend to 40 hectares today.

Oenologist graduated from the University of Bordeaux, Jacques Chardat realized his dream: to awaken a prestigious terroir with a determination and a faultless determination an unwavering commitment , and make known to all amateur enthusiasts a wine full of charm and fineness

The vineyard and the soil

The vineyard is located 40 km north of Bordeaux along the Gironde estuary, on the Right Bank, front of Grands Crus Classés of Médoc. The vineyards are located on the hill along the river. Thanks to this the vineyard profits of a very good conditions as the mild temperatures and an extraordinary brightness.

The most beautiful hill just above the river, facing south allows the top to admire both the size of the estuary and the towers of the villages of St Julien and Pauillac and Blaye Citadel built by Vauban, which is now classified by UNESCO as World Heritage by the Humanity. Our vineyard are also one part of this great heritage. 

Rock ! Limestone! The famous limestone vein from Blaye due North, along the Gironde Estuary. On the surface, a layer of gray clay mixed with limestone pebbles and fossils sea urchins. A poor soil, ideal for vines of Merlot and Cabernet.

Our commitments

To defend and preserve this great terroir, the owners have made strong commitments. They have chosen organic methods and the property is certified ISO 14001 and HEV level 3 (High Environmental Value, the highest level of French environmental certification for farms). They no longer use herbicide, neither synthetic fertilizers. They implement everywhere on the whole property agroecological solutions : hedgerow plantations along the streams and tree plantations (maples, dogwood, charms, hazelnuts, willows, hawthorns, oaks, walnuts, apple trees, pear trees, plum trees…). This work allows to develop biodiversity and the effects are real on fauna and flora. Life is present everywhere in the vineyard and the owners rejoice in it. They even have hives!

A dynamic team manages the property whose goal is perfection

In the vineyard is worked with respect for the environment, by using traditional farming methods and modern equipment. Our daily obsession is to obtain a finely crafted grape, healthy, ripe and filled with aromatic richness. The vinification is carried out by our winemaker, Eric Delacroix. With Jacques Chardat, they make every effort to make Lacaussade Saint-Martin, White or Red, an undisputed reference in the region.
