CHÂTEAU MAGDELEINE-BOUHOU

Château Magdeleine-Bouhou: The Organic Excellence of Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux

A Historic Estate in Organic Conversion. Located in Cars, at the heart of the Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, Château Magdeleine-Bouhou spans 17 hectares of vines rooted in superb clay-limestone soils. Since 2019, the estate has been undergoing conversion to organic farming, cultivating mainly Merlot and Malbec, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The name “Bouhou” comes from the wind that sweeps in from the Gironde estuary — a natural breath that gives life to this historic site, whose origins date back to the 18th century.

Parcel-Based Vinification for Characterful Wines

At Château Magdeleine-Bouhou, each vineyard plot is vinified separately in small, temperature-controlled concrete vats. This parcel-based approach enhances the purity of the fruit and the finesse of the terroir. Thanks to meticulous work both in the vineyard and in the cellar, the estate’s wines stand out for their freshness, elegance and balance, establishing Château Magdeleine-Bouhou as one of the rising stars of the appellation.

Unique and Inspired Cuvées
