The feudal Château de Monbadon, built in the 14th century,
can be found at Monbadon-Puisseguin, 40 kilometers from Bordeaux.
Most of the vineyard of 25 hectares (of which 20 currently on
production) is located on a clay and limestone plateau with a
ferruginous subsoil, at the altitude of 109 meters above see level,
very close to one of the two highest points of Gironde : 114 meters.
The rest of the vines lies in steep hill at the feet of the
castle.
This aromatic and complex wine will be perfect with red meats
and cheeses.
