Chateau Puy Castera Haut Medoc

Located between Pauillac and Saint-Estèphe, the 28-hectare Château Puy Castera vineyard is owned by Alix Marès, a very dynamic young woman who is a fully qualified agronomic engineer. Alix follows the traditional Médoc methods of wine-making.

The winery was started in 1975 by Alix’s father, Henri Marès, who worked closely with oenologist Professor Emile Peynaud to build a special cellar which uses the gentle power of gravity throughout the wine-making process. This gravitational technology is in use from the moment the grapes reach the cellar until the wine is poured into barrels. This minimises grape damage and allows her fruit to shine.

50% of Cabernet-Sauvignon, 35% of Merlot, 15% of Cabernet-Franc
