Château Les Hauts de Caillevel - Organic Périgord Wines - Pomport, Bergerac, Dordogne
At the summit of the Pomport plateau, in the Dordogne, Château Les Hauts de Caillevel looks out over the hillsides of the southern Bergerac region. Here, the vines face the forest and the Gardonette river valley, whose cool air, combined with the terroir and a fine southern exposure, encourages a refined and balanced aromatic expression in the grapes.
A family project. A constant standard. A deep connection to the terroir.
Taken over in 2018 with a clear conviction, to produce sincere, precise and living organic wines, the estate embraces a demanding approach deeply rooted in nature.
History and origins of the estate
Taken over in 2018 with a clear conviction, to produce sincere, precise and living organic wines, Château Les Hauts de Caillevel is the result of a deliberate life choice: to settle at the top of the Pomport plateau, in the Dordogne, and let the soil, the sun and the Gardonette valley become the true authors of every bottle.
A 17-hectare organic estate at the heart of the Bergerac region
The vineyard extends over 17 hectares in a single block, 80 km from Bordeaux, between Bergerac and the heart of the Périgord Noir. Two geological identities shape the wines, a rare terroir mosaic in the Bergerac region:

Appellations produced: Bergerac red, Monbazillac sweet wine, IGP Périgord white, red, rosé and off-dry.
Organic farming and agroforestry
Certified Organic Agriculture since 2013, the estate goes further:

The goal: to preserve biodiversity while producing perfectly balanced grapes, and ultimately wines that are lively, digestible and free from heaviness; wines that speak of their place rather than the technique that made them.
In the winery: precision and minimal intervention
The work done in the vineyard must not be erased in the winery. Here, less than 35 mg/L total SO₂, a level two to three times lower than the maximum permitted under organic certification, and fermentations conducted as naturally as possible, without correction or standardisation.

Annual production: approximately 60,000 bottles
Better to forgo a cuvée than to release a wine that does not reflect the identity of the estate.

Frequently asked questions about Château Les Hauts de Caillevel
Where is Château Les Hauts de Caillevel located ?
Château Les Hauts de Caillevel is located in Pomport, in the Dordogne (24), at the top of the plateau in the southern Bergerac region, near Bergerac town. The estate looks out over the hillsides where the vines benefit from a fine southern exposure facing the forest and the Gardonette valley.
Why order Château Les Hauts de Caillevel wines directly, with no middleman ?
Because every bottle leaves directly from the Pomport estate, bypassing any intermediate warehouse. You receive the wines in the exact storage conditions maintained by the family team, at their best, at a fair price, with the full traceability of an organically certified domaine since 2013.
Is Château Les Hauts de Caillevel certified organic ?
Yes, certified Organic Agriculture since 2013. The approach goes well beyond certification: agroforestry, nectar hedgerows, flower fallow strips, natural treatments only (copper, sulphur, plant-based products) and very low use of SO₂ (less than 35 mg/L total). The entire vineyard is managed in harmony with natural cycles.
What is the Monbazillac appellation ?
Monbazillac is one of the great sweet wines of South-West France, produced in the Dordogne near Bergerac. Made from grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), it develops complex aromas of candied fruit, honey and spice, with a remarkable balance between sweetness and acidity. Château Les Hauts de Caillevel produces two organic Monbazillac cuvées: Grains de Folie and Les Brumes.
Which grape varieties are grown at Château Les Hauts de Caillevel ?
For the reds: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, the reference varieties of the Bergerac region. For the whites: Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Chenin for the dry wines; Sémillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle for the Monbazillac sweet wines. This ampelographic diversity allows the estate to produce around twenty very different cuvées across its 17 hectares.
What food pairs well with Château Les Hauts de Caillevel wines ?
L'Envolée white pairs beautifully at aperitif, with grilled fish or goat's cheese. Ébène red matches red meats, game and aged cheeses. Les Terres Chaudes suits slow-cooked dishes and character-driven dinners. Fruissance is perfect for convivial meals. Rosenvie goes with grilled food and summer cooking. The Monbazillac wines, Grains de Folie and Les Brumes, are exceptional dessert wines: foie gras, Roquefort, apricot tart.
What is the difference between Bergerac red and Côtes de Bergerac ?
Bergerac rouge is the base appellation, supple and approachable. Côtes de Bergerac requires lower yields and a higher minimum alcohol level, giving the wines greater structure and complexity. At Château Les Hauts de Caillevel, Les Terres Chaudes illustrates this premium tier perfectly: blackcurrant, spices, liquorice and powerful structure.
What is viticultural agroforestry ?
Viticultural agroforestry combines trees and hedgerows with the vineyard to create a diversified ecosystem: nectar hedges attract pollinators, flower fallow strips limit erosion and support beneficial fauna. At Château Les Hauts de Caillevel, this approach has complemented the organic certification since 2013, a concrete commitment to biodiversity in the Bergerac region.
