Chateau Couronneau

Château Couronneau wines offer a full-bodied texture with present yet well-integrated tannins. They possess a lovely freshness, particularly in the white cuvées. Balance is consistently achieved, with fruity substance and a pleasant persistence. The reds, sometimes dominated by Merlot, feature an expressive aromatic profile and definite aging potential.

Château history

Château Couronneau, perched on the heights, benefits from a clay-limestone terroir conducive to the flourishing of the vine. Its history is one of constant commitment to quality and respect for the environment, values that shape the identity of this wine estate.
The attention paid to vine cultivation is manifested through meticulous farming practices. The planting density, ranging between 3,500 and 6,000 vines per hectare, reflects a desire to control yields and promote optimal concentration of aromas. A high trellising system is favored to maximize photosynthesis. Suckering, the removal of secondary buds, manual leaf thinning, and green harvesting are all precise actions that contribute to the creation of excellent wines. This quest for quality has resulted in organic farming certification, reaffirming Château Couronneau's commitment to sustainable viticulture that respects its environment. The vineyard spans 38 hectares, where Merlot reigns supreme for the red wines, while Sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Blanc flourish to give birth to expressive white wines.
