Château Les Dames de la Renardière

Château Les Dames de la Renardière

An Entre-Deux-Mers estate in La Sauve-Majeure (Gironde), 30 min from Bordeaux: 60 hectares of nature (vines, woods, ponds), a 15th-century château. AREA certified, in an HVE approach. A signature Entre-Deux-Mers white, a Bordeaux Superieur red and a Bordeaux rose, on clay-silt slopes.

There are estates that impress by their size, and others that stand out by their balance. Château Les Dames de la Renardière clearly belongs to this second category. Located in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers, just thirty minutes from Bordeaux, the estate extends over 60 hectares of harmonious nature, where vines, woods and ponds coexist in perfect intelligence. Here, the vine imposes nothing: it fits into the landscape, with respect and humility.

The Entre-Deux-Mers White

White - AOC Entre-Deux-Mers (Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Sémillon)

The estate's signature. Sauvignon Blanc brings citrus, exotic fruits, tension and length; Sauvignon Gris, ripe fruits, aromatic richness and complexity; Semillon, a floral note, roundness and a beautiful texture on the palate. An elegant, digestible white, as at ease as an aperitif as at the table.

The Bordeaux Supérieur Red

Red - AOC Bordeaux Supérieur (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc)

Merlot naturally dominates the blend and brings roundness, suaveness and a very accessible, gourmet fruit. It is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon (structure, depth, length) and Cabernet Franc (freshness and complexity). The presence of gravel on some parcels gives the wine its Bordeaux signature: concentration, elegance and ageing potential.

The Bordeaux Rosé

Rosé - AOC Bordeaux (Merlot)

A gourmet, Merlot-dominant rose, fresh and fruity, on roundness and pleasure. The ideal companion for the aperitif and summer tables, in the accessible, sincere spirit of the estate.

A terroir of three hills

La Sauve-Majeure - clay-silt slopes, 96 to 109 m

At the cradle of the Entre-Deux-Mers, in the historic commune of La Sauve-Majeure, the vineyard rests on clay-silt slopes organised in three hills rising between 96 and 109 metres. A relief that favours air circulation, the ripeness of the grapes and aromatic expression, with parcels mainly facing full south.

The spirit of Les Dames de la Renardière

An estate of balance rather than excess: 60 hectares of nature between vines, woods and ponds, a 15th-century château, a three-hill terroir at the cradle of the Entre-Deux-Mers, tense and precise whites, elegant reds for cellaring, and a respectful viticulture certified AREA. Bordeaux elegance, with respect and humility.

What distinguishes an Entre-Deux-Mers wine from clay-silt slopes from a classic Bordeaux white in terms of freshness, aromas and food pairings?

The clay-silt slopes of the Entre-Deux-Mers, organised in south-facing hills, favour air circulation and a regular ripeness: the whites gain a bright freshness and a rare aromatic precision. At Château Les Dames de la Renardière, Sauvignon Blanc brings citrus, exotic fruits and tension, Sauvignon Gris richness and complexity, Semillon roundness and texture. The result: whites that are more tense, more digestible and more expressive than a generic Bordeaux white, as at ease as an aperitif as with fish, shellfish or world cuisine.
