A singular, collective history
Born on the right bank of the Garonne in Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux, Château Réaut changed course in 2011: bought from the Roederer group by 6 Bordeaux friends and 6 Burgundy friends, it became a project of passion and sharing. The coat of arms unites the emblems of the two regions, and an original investment model today brings together more than 420 co-owners in 15 countries. In a few vintages, the estate has established itself among the references of the appellation.
A natural setting for ripeness and freshness
The 26-hectare vineyard alternates clay-limestone hillside and gravel terrace, facing due south by the river: an ideal combination for even ripeness, a mineral backbone and silky tannins. This dual soil identity signs structured reds, impeccably taut whites and crystalline rosés.
A contemporary cellar designed for precision
Inaugurated in 2018, the new cellar (inverted truncated-cone tanks, French barrels, Tava amphorae for some cuvees) offers a high-precision winemaking tool. The 250 m² panoramic terrace embraces the vineyard and the Garonne, a strong wine-tourism asset, awarded Best of Wine Tourism 2023.
A controlled viticulture, clean and expressive styles
Réaut's philosophy: purity of fruit, balance and length. Tailor-made ageing (steel, wood, amphorae) refines the textures without masking the origin, while dedicated vinifications (including a sulphite-free cuvee) reveal the diversity of the Bordeaux grapes.
