    Producer

    The Château Reysson vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, ideal for cultivating noble grape varieties. The diversity of the terroirs allows for the production of exceptionally high-quality grapes, bursting with sunshine and minerality. The meticulously tended vines benefit from optimal sun exposure, promoting even ripening of the berries. The region's temperate oceanic climate, with its hot summers and mild winters, also contributes to the complexity of the wines produced. Sustainable farming practices on the estate ensure a balance between productivity and respect for the environment.

    Owner and history

    Currently managed by a family passionate about the art of winemaking, Château Reysson is in good hands. The current owners have successfully combined tradition and modernity, breathing new life into the estate while respecting its history. Their commitment to quality and sustainability is reflected in their responsible farming practices, ensuring healthy and expressive grapes. Thanks to their dedication, Château Reysson continues to produce wines that delight enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike, while preserving the family legacy.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Château Reysson is a meticulous process that begins with the hand-harvesting of the grapes, ensuring a rigorous selection of only the finest fruit. After delicate destemming, the berries are placed in vats for controlled fermentation, allowing for the extraction of their full aromatic richness. Aging takes place in oak barrels, where the wine develops its structure and complexity. The owners carefully adapt the aging techniques to the characteristics of each vintage, thus ensuring the consistency and authenticity of the wines. This artisanal process, combined with constant attention to detail, results in wines that fully express the terroir of the Haut-Médoc.
