Vignobles Lascaux - a story of family, transmission and Bordeaux convictions

Vignobles Lascaux

A Bordeaux family estate founded in 1920, 33 hectares between Bordeaux and Fronsac. Two chateaux: Chateau Lascaux (Bordeaux) and Chateau Tour Bel-Air (Fronsac). Certified HVE 3 since 2020.

Founded in 1920, Vignobles Lascaux tell above all a story of family transmission and faithfulness to the land. Two properties, two appellations, one single philosophy: to produce sincere, accessible wines deeply rooted in their terroir.

The vineyard is built around two complementary estates:

Chateau Lascaux

At Saint-Martin-du-Bois, in the Bordeaux appellation.

Chateau Tour Bel-Air

At Saillans, in the Fronsac appellation, on slopes renowned for their character.

A family adventure in constant evolution

In 1998, Fabrice Lascaux and his wife Sylvie took over the family estate, then made up of only 4 hectares of vines. Driven by the desire to build a solid and lasting project, they progressively expanded the vineyard through successive plantings and acquisitions.

The year 2007 marked a new stage with the integration of Chateau Tour Bel-Air, an estate belonging to Sylvie's family. Today, Vignobles Lascaux total 33 hectares of vines, spread between Bordeaux and Fronsac, offering a complete range representative of the Bordeaux vineyard.


A terroir of slopes, naturally privileged

Planted high on well-exposed ridges, the vines benefit from ideal conditions for a homogeneous and qualitative ripening. More than 80% of the vineyard is planted on steep clay-limestone slopes, ensuring:

Efficient natural drainage, for healthy, concentrated grapes.

Optimal sun exposure, for even ripeness.

Fine aromatic concentration, at the heart of the grapes.

The soils, blending clay, limestone, gravel and sand, bring structure, finesse and balance to the wines, whether red, white or sparkling.


Emblematic Bordeaux grape varieties

Vignobles Lascaux cultivate a grape mix faithful to the identity of Bordeaux, in red as in white.

Red wines (30 ha): Merlot (80%) for roundness, fruit and suppleness; Cabernet Sauvignon (13.5%) for structure and length; Cabernet Franc (6.5%) for freshness and aromatic finesse.

White wines (3 ha): Sauvignon Gris (61%) for complexity and breadth; Sauvignon Blanc (32%) for liveliness and freshness; Muscadelle (7%) for floral notes and elegance.

This diversity allows the estate to offer reds, dry whites, roses, clairet and even a Cremant de Bordeaux, suited to every tasting occasion.


A committed environmental engagement

Aware of the richness of their terroir, Vignobles Lascaux chose a reasoned and responsible viticulture. Since 2020, the estate has been certified HVE, High Environmental Value level 3, a strong recognition of their practices.

Strictly limited chemical interventions, to the strict necessary.

Natural grass cover between the rows, to fight against erosion.

Active protection of biodiversity, from insects to the microbial life of the soils.

Here, the vine is not exploited: it is accompanied.
