Château Vieux Landat: A Family Tradition in Winemaking

Château Vieux Landat is a charming family winery located in the heart of Bordeaux, managed by siblings Nicolas and Diane. The winery specializes in crafting traditional wines and single-variety cuvées without added sulfites. In 1999, Pierre Signolle revitalized the estate, bringing over a decade of viticulture experience. Between 2000 and 2010, he replanted most of the vineyards with Merlot and modernized the winery with state-of-the-art winemaking equipment. Temperature-controlled vessels allow for low-temperature vinification, ensuring high-quality wines. In 2015, Pierre's wife Sophie and their children took over, continuing to enhance both the vineyards and the winery.

Commitment to Sustainable Practices

Château Vieux Landat spans 18 hectares in Haut-Médoc, with an additional 10 hectares in Saint-Estèphe. The winery is dedicated to sustainable agriculture, experimenting with innovative practices like using sheep for grass control and promoting vineyard biodiversity. Certified organic and recognized for high environmental value (HVE), the estate is part of the Crus Bourgeois du Médoc classification. The primary grape varieties cultivated include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, which are transformed into organic and natural red wines that showcase the terroir's unique characteristics. Since 2022, they have also introduced a distinctive white wine made from black grape varieties.
