The winery property and the vineyards in AOC Haut-Medoc are located 20 minutes away from the Bordeaux city center.

Winery Using Latest Technology

Only high-quality work in the vineyards can guarantee high-quality wine, and this is what is done here.

Their sustainable efforts earned them a Level 3 High Environmental value certification.

The vineyards are spread across 30 hectares in sandy soil with gravels. The main grape varietals here are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot processed to make red and rose wines.

High-Quality Wines

The Cru Bourgeois certification means they can produce a Cru Bourgeois each year, and it also guarantees the high quality and standard of their wines. All extractions are natural, and the wines are fermented carefully so that the wines achieve the desired taste. The winery’s Jardins de Mirabel tour won Gold in the Best of Wine Tourism awards. The winery also has two houses named after their mascots Mirabel and Bidule.
