In the 1940s, my great-grandparents, Pierre and Marie Chevalier, purchased land for each of their five children. Their daughter Catherine and her husband Daniel Lhuillier received a beautiful plot in Vérac, where Château Haut-Gaussens was born. This cherished vineyard has since been passed down to my parents, Michel and Annie Lhuillier.

Today, my sister Delphine and I proudly manage these 15 hectares, honoring the land and the legacy we inherited. Our commitment to sustainable practices ensures that we can cultivate the vineyard ourselves, overseeing every step from vine care to bottling. This hands-on approach allows us to produce high-quality wines that reflect our family's dedication and the unique terroir of the region.

During your visit, you will have the opportunity to taste our exquisite wines and learn about our winemaking process. We invite you to join us for a memorable experience that celebrates our family's history and passion for wine. Bring your family and friends to share in the joy of Château Haut-Gaussens.

A very warm welcome for this family vineyard. The wines are to be discovered with a little crush for the unusual! To top it all off, the spot offered to camper van drivers is truly magnificent! (Remember to call before 😉) Well done to you and good luck!

What a welcome from Stéphane and his daughter Ophélie... You have a passion for your vineyard that is wonderful to hear and especially to taste. We had a great time with you. Your motorhome pitch is also magnificent. I recommend this overnight stop and tasting to all lovers of wine and family stories.

Château Haut Gaussens is a real gem that I had the chance to discover during a day with a group of corvettes. This family estate, located in Vérac, stands out for their incredible wines and the unfailing passion of Stéphane, Delphine and Ophélie. As soon as you arrive, you are charmed by the peaceful and authentic atmosphere of the estate. The tour guided by Stéphane offers a fascinating dive into the history of the castle and the family. The tasting that followed was a highlight of our visit. Each wine tells a story. Special mention for their Cuvée L'Insolite which particularly seduced me with its originality. Château Haut Gaussens is a must for lovers of good wines and those looking for an authentic wine experience. The family's passion is reflected in every detail, making this estate an address not to be missed.

We arrived at the estate in the evening, and despite the late hour, Stéphane and Ophelie gave us a wine tasting and we were allowed to spend the night on the property in a beautiful meadow with a view of Bordeaux. Thank you very much for that. We felt very comfortable:)

Awesome!!! Extraordinary welcome, kindness, humor, sharing, friendliness and proximity to the operators. The wines are delicious, the place is warm, the family history touching, extra and very interesting. They welcomed us with open arms and a smile during our warm tastings. Their wines are extraordinary and very affordable. Not to be missed!! Our best time in the Bordeaux vineyard without a doubt. We left with 4 boxes :) And we had fun :) Thanks for everything. Paulo, who was with the American team!

This place... in one word - dreamy. The couple was kind, funny, pouring us so much delicious wine to taste even though we showed up unannounced (best to make reservations) We loved every glass they poured. And since we bought wines - they didnot charge us for a tasting - not the same at the other wineries. We left with one bottle of everything, and my friends took home 2 cases :) This husband and wife team do EVERYTHING themselves and their passion and love for the family business of 3 generations shines through. You have a lot of choices in Bordeaux... don't miss this stop on your next trip.
