Chateau Carignan, Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France  - Gone fishing?

All images © Copyright WineTastings Britt Karlsson, BKWine, Per Karlsson. Images are for sale. Contact info @ bkwine.com

Château Carignan, 1ère Côtes de Bordeaux
Chateau Carignan is a well preserved castle from the 15th century. It was built by a fighting comrade to Jeanne d'Arc. The current owner, Philippe Pieraerts, bought the property in 1981. Ecologic wine production with their own Limousin cows to produce natural fertiliser. Well structured, spicy wines and a good cuvee prestige, Prima, made since 1998.

But be careful if you plan to go there. We had scheduled a visit since long and reconfirmed a few days in advance just to make sure. But when we arrive not a single soul is there and no one is answering the phone...  And not a word from them since in spite of us trying to contact them... Not a place we plan to visit again !  Gone fishing ?

Merlot - this has been hit by colure making for uneven ripening

Merlot - all the grapes are at the bottom and thus easy to pick. The foliage extends a bit less than a metre upwards. Canopy management

A view over the vineyards. The Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux has a much nicer undulating and green landscape than the rather flat and sandy Médoc

A back entrance to the tower. The door looks old but it is actually painted in trompe l'oeil
