CHÂTEAU TOUR DE LA MOTHE

I settled as a young winegrower in 1988 in Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, following my parents’ footsteps who were winegrowers in Mazion, and producers of Pineau and Cognac in Charente region.
The Château Tour de la Mothe gathers my very first vine lands ; 11 hectares I planted myself in Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. I gave the estate its name after the cadastral name of my vines. With my three vineyards, in three different appellations (Blaye, Bourg, Bordeaux Supérieur), the Château Tour de la Mothe remains my first wine love, the one which provided me the savoir-faire I have today and helped me create my own wine signature.
