Celebrating Five Generations of Passionate Wine Craftsmanship

Tradition Passed Down from Mother to Daughter

Château du Payre, nestled in Cardan, east of Bordeaux along the Garonne River, has a rich history dating back to 1881. This family-owned winery has been passed down through five generations of women, with Valérie Labrousse currently at the helm as owner and manager. Her dedication to the craft continues the legacy of quality winemaking.

Distinctive Characteristics of Château du Payre Wines

Spanning 35 hectares, the vineyard features diverse soil types, including sandy clay, clay loam, and gravel clay, all of which contribute to the exceptional quality of their wines. The region's climate, characterized by humid summers and mild winters, enhances the unique flavors of their offerings. The vineyard cultivates a variety of grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec for red and rosé wines, while Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle are used for white wines. With a commitment to sustainable practices, Château du Payre is certified by Terra Vitis, ensuring that their vineyards are well-maintained for future generations.

Wine Tours and Tastings in a Historic Setting

Château du Payre welcomes both local and international visitors for guided tours led by Valérie herself. Guests can explore the vineyard, winery, barrel cellar, and bottling room, culminating in a delightful wine tasting experience. The guided tour lasts approximately 45 minutes. For those wishing to extend their stay, the winery offers charming guest rooms adorned with vintage-style furnishings, each reflecting the winery's wine-themed ambiance, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the world of Château du Payre.
