Château Cailleteau Bergeron - Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux Blanc 2024
Located in the Mazion is Chateau Bergeron which has generations of winemaking experience that began as early as 1933 in the village around the church where Marie and Pierre Dartier had 2 hectares of vines.
In 1945 due to the Second World War, Marie was forced to look after the vines on her own and in 1965, her children took over and expanded the estate to 15 hectares of vines which they were successful with as they sold the wines in bulk in both France and Belgium but in 1973 it was extremely difficult to sell the wines when the Bordeaux trade underwent a crisis and the family then decided to bottle their wines at the estate.
In 1978 the Dartier family bought a further 4 hectare plot called La Magdeleine and in 1989, Marie Pierre, their daughter decided to buy 3 oak barrels and aged some the wine of that year in them as inspiration from her 30th birthday, this was a huge success which inspired the family to building a barrel cellar. Marie Pierre, along with her brother Charles Pierre, who obtain a diploma in oenology, come to work with their parents. Charles Pierre manages the vineyard and the cellar.
Chateau Cailletau Bergeron is commited to sustainable agriculture: in 2013 they made a cuvee without sulphites, and became a certified Terra Vitis grower, witholding the use of pesticides and herbicides.
