Château La Garde in Sommeliers International with Xavier Thuizat

Very beautiful article by Sommeliers International about our Château La Garde in Pessac-Léognan, where we had the great pleasure of welcoming a few journalists from the editorial team, accompanied by Xavier Thuizat, Head Sommelier at the Crillon for the past 8 years and named Best Sommelier of France 2022.

From the exceptional mosaic of soils to the ultra-precise work in the vat room and the cellar, the article paints an accurate portrait of the estate and its wines. Thank you very much!

“A unique sensory and tactile experience at Château La Garde!”

“Just 25 minutes from the center of Bordeaux, it’s another world. The peace, the nature, the beauty of a vineyard in perfect health, the nobility of an 18th-century Chartreuse and its 19th-century cellar — we are in Martillac, at Château La Garde in Pessac-Léognan.

At the foot of a plot, Pierre Estorge, vineyard manager, explains to us that this 300-year-old vineyard is the treasure of the estate. 50 hectares, 50 plots, and 27 terroirs stand amidst a biodiversity that continues to flourish.”
