Château Nouret

Commitment to Quality at Château Nouret

At Château Nouret, located in the southern Médoc region, quality takes precedence over quantity in wine production. Spanning 21 hectares, the estate cultivates equal amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, crafting classic Bordeaux-style blended wines. The vineyards consist of over 20 small parcels, showcasing a diverse range of soil types, including clay, gravel, and sand, which contribute to the unique character of their wines.

Sustainable Practices and Local Engagement

Château Nouret is dedicated to sustainability and is actively pursuing organic certification. The team hand-harvests grapes, ensuring the first sorting occurs right in the vineyard. Environmentally friendly practices include planting cover crops between the vines and implementing circular economy principles to minimize waste. The winery produces two wines classified under the Médoc appellation, both of which have collectively earned five awards at the Decanter World Wine Awards in 2018. Notably, in 2014, Château Nouret received a gold medal at the Bordeaux Wine Awards.

Classic Blends of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon

Château Nouret specializes in a balanced blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with each vineyard parcel vinified separately to select the finest lots for the final wine. The blend is aged in oak barrels for over a year, with barrels renewed every three years to achieve a subtle oak influence. Their other acclaimed wine, La Bacchante, is lighter and fruitier, sourced from younger vineyard parcels with a higher proportion of Merlot. Aged in three-year-old oak barrels for one year, La Bacchante allows the fruit flavors to shine through with less oakiness.
