Biodynamic Winery in Picturesque Bordeaux

Vignobles Carles is a family-owned winery located in the stunning region of Bordeaux, with four vineyards in Saint-Emilion and one in Pomerol. Nestled in the beautiful countryside, this winery is celebrated for its organic red wines, crafted under the AOC Saint-Emilion and AOC Pomerol designations. Visitors of all ages can enjoy wine tastings while soaking in the breathtaking views of the vineyards.

A Legacy of Winemaking Through Generations

Founded in 1924 by Jean-Claude Carles, Vignobles Carles has a rich history as a flagship estate of the Carles family. Jean-Claude expanded the estate by acquiring Clos La Rose in 1948 and Château Haut-Fonrazade in 1957, where he pursued his passion for winemaking. In 1961, he purchased Château Coudert, where he met his wife, Marie-Danielle Carles. Together, they preserved family traditions and renovated the estate. In 1994, Marie-Danielle inherited the family estate in Pomerol and established Château Croix des Rouzes.

Innovative Practices in the Vineyard

Today, Jérôme and Gilles Carles continue their family's legacy, actively managing the vineyards and cellars. In 1999, they acquired Clos Jacquemeau, further enhancing their portfolio. By blending traditional methods with modern techniques, they focus on two primary grape varieties: Merlot and Cabernet Franc. These grapes are cultivated using organic practices and aged in oak barrels and vats, imparting a delicate wooden character to the wines.

We had a wonderful guided visit at the Chateau. The guide was super knowledgeable and spent a good amount of time explaining the whole production process. The wine was also excellent!

Great place! We had an excellent tour (thanks Pierre-Luc!) and tasting followed by a picnic. The tour was informative and interesting for the adults and we were impressed that it was customized a bit to make it more appealing for our kids. The picnic was great - nothing but local products, in a picturesque setting. Overall, I’d highly recommend this place.

Very nice discovery of the area. We feel Claire's passion for her job and that makes the visit all the more pleasant. Tasting in a beautiful setting, with a view of the vineyards, the castle and a body of water. (PS: swimming is advisable and recommended) A big thank you to Claire from the starting eleven.

We had a great time with Claire. A very nice tasting of the 6 wines without making any judgment on our part about our complete discovery of this environment. Easy and dynamic discussions, an area full of different castles, the discovery of vocabulary and small techniques were very pleasant. THANK YOU!
