Château l'Enclos

AOC Sainte-Foy

Bordeaux

 

The Château L’Enclos Vineyards today boast 24 hectares of vines, mainly located on terraces. Soils are varied, composed of chalky-clayey, sandy-clayey or boulbènes soils, which partly account for the quality of the wines.

 

The Château, with foundations dating back to the 17th century, is surrounded by the winery and the storage cellar which are housed in a structure that was built in the late 18th century.

 

Since late 2002 owners of the Château L’Enclos Registered Designation of Origin - Sainte Foy Bordeaux Designation, and their team have worked together to make quaffable and ropy wines.

   

 

 

Driven by a passionate commitment to respecting the terroir and traditional winemaking, they have resolutely adhered to integrated agriculture, yield control and fragmented winemaking method.

 

These choices have required huge human and financial investment and made it possible, over the years, to greatly improve the quality of the grapes and wines.  

 

 

The team has rapidly grown from strength to strength with the added expertise of consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt to assist with maximising the potential of the different terroirs of Château L’Enclos. This collaboration has already yielded impressive results.
