Château Enclos Haut Mazeyres - exceptional Pomerol wines shaped by women of passion since 1830, at the heart of one of Bordeaux's greatest terroirs
In Pomerol, where Merlot finds its most velvety and profound expression, Château Enclos Haut Mazeyres stands apart through one absolute singularity: since 1830, this estate has passed from mother to daughter, without interruption. Nine hectares in a single block, encircled by their own vines like a fortress of earth and clay, carried today by Marianne de Pedro, who upholds a two-centuries-old legacy while breathing into it a resolutely contemporary vision.
When the soul of women magnifies the fruit of the vine, it reveals authentic wines, so many occasions to share. That is the estate's motto. It is also, vintage after vintage, what you find in every glass.
Two centuries of a female legacy
It all begins in 1830, when the property enters a female family line that would never be broken. Marie Laure Dubois Souillé ran the estate until 1985. Françoise Souillé de Pedro succeeded her and led the château until 2018. Then came Marianne de Pedro, heir to this know-how built up over nearly two centuries, who took up the reins with a clear intention: to honour what she received by carrying it towards the future.
Supported by her husband Yoann, Marianne has drawn the estate into a new momentum without ever breaking with the deep identity of the place. New cuvées, an opening to wine tourism, a presence at the most prestigious gala dinners in Europe: Château Enclos Haut Mazeyres today shines far beyond Pomerol, while remaining what it has always been - a family property, intimate and demanding.
The estate's motto
"When the soul of women magnifies the fruit of the vine, thus revealing authentic wines as so many occasions to share.", Marianne de Pedro

The Pomerol terroir: clay, gravel and iron-rich hardpan
Pomerol is the smallest of Bordeaux's great vineyards, and one of the most mysterious. On this almost unremarkable Gironde plateau, the subsoil tells an exceptional geological story. Château Enclos Haut Mazeyres rests on terraces of clay, gravel and, above all, crasse de fer, this unique ferruginous layer that crowns the finest terroirs of the appellation and which is said to retain moisture in summer while draining excess water in winter.
On this mineral, complex soil, vines of 40 to 60 years plunge their roots deep, drawing on matter that young vines cannot reach. The result: concentrated grapes of controlled ripeness, harvested by hand plot by plot by a team of nearly 50 people over six to seven days across three weeks. Nothing is left to chance, nothing is mechanised where the human hand does better.
Clay and iron-rich hardpan - Summer water retention · Winter drainage · Distinctive minerality
Gravel - Stored heat · Steady ripening of the Merlot · Natural elegance
Vines 40-60 years old - Deep rooting · Controlled yields · Concentration and complexity
9 ha in a single block - Terroir coherence · Homogeneous plot expression
Tradition, precision and biodiversity: the château's know-how
At the château, the vine is tended according to the most demanding principles of sustainable viticulture. The soils are worked mechanically, without ever resorting to herbicides or non-natural additives. The estate's sixty or so trees, several of them century-old, shelter birds that naturally regulate populations of harmful insects. The mating-disruption technique, diffusing pheromones, keeps pest moths away without any chemical treatment.
In the cellar, the cellar master and his team take a bespoke approach: each plot is vinified separately, according to its own personality. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats over three to four weeks. Malolactic fermentation continues in barrels. Ageing then lasts between 18 and 24 months in French oak casks, notably from the Allier, chosen for their perfect harmony with the wines of Pomerol. Every bottle is bottled directly and exclusively at the property.
Manual harvest, plot by plot
Each plot is picked at its ideal ripeness, by a team of nearly 50 people over three weeks. This choice of the manual harvest ensures a rigorous selection of the grapes and perfect control of quality from the moment of picking.
Full barrel vinification for the exceptional cuvées
For the Intégrales cuvées - Héritières, EHM and C Franc - vinification takes place entirely in barrel, from fermentation through to bottling. This exceptional process gives the wines a texture and depth unattainable otherwise.
18 to 24 months in French oak casks from the Allier
The long ageing in 300 and 400 L casks from French forests, notably the Allier, gives the wines their characteristic oaked finesse, without ever masking the fruit or the terroir. It is the perfect alliance between the cooper's craft and the expression of Pomerol.
The wines of Château Enclos Haut Mazeyres: two ranges, one same standard
The estate's range is built around two families: the Classic Cuvées, silky and approachable, and the Intégrales Cuvées, vinified entirely in barrel for those seeking the quintessence of Pomerol. From the introductory wine to the great occasions, each bottle carries the imprint of the women who shaped this estate.
