CHÂTEAU DE CLOTTE

OUR HISTORY

Château de Clotte was created during the Age of Enlightenment. It was in 1782 that the famous family of Bordeaux magistrates Roy de Clotte built the castle and gave it its name.

From the 18th to the 19th century, the Roy de Clotte family revealed the full potential of the castle but especially of the vineyard. Over the centuries, the various owners, mostly women, dedicated themselves to increasing the notoriety of the vineyard property and the wines. It was in the 20th century that the owner of the moment enhanced the terroir. With the help of a friend well known in the Saint-Emilion wine sector, she readjusted the grape varieties of the vineyard by planting Cabernets, more appropriate to this rich and balanced terroir. Today Château de Clotte is one of the few on the right bank to have a majority of Cabernets, which makes it unique.

OUR SOIL

Our terroirs are a living web woven by the hands of time and the elements.

Nestled in the heart of the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux designation of origin (AOC), our 20-hectare vineyard is carefully distributed over the most precious terroirs. The clay-limestone soils, rich in minerals, give remarkable depth and complexity to our grapes. The wooded hills surrounding the castle create an ideal microclimate, providing natural protection from the elements and promoting optimal growing conditions. Each harvest is a meticulous celebration of the alliance between the hand of man and the generosity of the earth, a harvest that captures the very essence of our terroirs in each grape.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Château de Clotte, we believe in viticulture that respects nature, in harmony with the land that has been bequeathed to us. We are proud to preserve the rich biodiversity that evolves around our estate. This precious biodiversity plays an essential role in the natural regulation of our ecosystem, promoting the health of our soils and the vitality of our vines. We work closely with nature by implementing sustainable agricultural practices to create wines that faithfully reflect the character of our place.

In the cellar, every aspect of the winemaking process is meticulously orchestrated in this haven of know-how, where the carefully harvested grapes are transformed, after passing through concrete vats and French oak barrels, into exceptional wines.
