Le Château

Located 15 kms south-east of Saint-Émilion, on a hill overlooking the Gamage river valley, the 75 acres of Bruignac are a domain of centuries-old oaks, horse chestnut trees, black austrian pines, vines and gardens.

      Built near the traces of a neolithic village ( -3 000), and the ruins of a gallo-roman villa of the first century and those of a church of the XIIth, the chateau encompasses a tower elevated in the XIVth leaning on a manor rebuilt in the XVth (see attached photos and wine bottle labels).

      Winemaking has been carried out at Bruignac since at least the year 1000, for sure, and possibly since the gallo-roman villa.

       The history of Bruignac is now well-known, through the notes taken by Léo Drouyn when he consulted the archives of Bruignac in 1856, and through the archives themselves which were “rediscovered” in 2012 in the Château de Cugat. A book authored by David Souny and sponsored by the present owners covers in a quite complete manner the history and the architecture of Bruignac.

Inky dark purple core and hue. Pure aromas of ripe dark fruit, mild oak underneath with sage, bay leaf, tobacco and red pepper. The palate is digest with medium weight, pure and digest young fruit, rounded tannin mild oak and a fine length.
