Visiting Rions – Cotes de Bordeaux

A day with the winemakers of Château Beneyt

 

The 12 ha vineyard is planted in the underrated “Côtes de Bordeaux” area of Rions, just above the Garonne river, at approximately 70 meters height. 

Located on such an exceptional terroir with a good exposure, the vineyard is carefully managed with a sustainable conduct to preserve its ecosystem and reduce the impact on environment.

The winery has been run by the same family for 5 generations, constantly looking for new methods in full respect of the traditions.

This independent and passionate wine-making family is offering a range of products to please both beginners and wine experts.
