Château Tour de Calens

The Doublet family has been based in Bordeaux since the end of the 18th century and wine is their passion. Bernard and Dominique Doublet own Château Vignol in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers and Château Tour de Calens in the Graves, and their sons Alexandre and Jean-Thomas make wine at Château Saint-Ange in Saint-Émillion.

What is special about Château Vignol is that in the 18th century the estate was owned by none other than the political philosopher Montesquieu. Today the estate is particularly famous for the white Entre-Deux-Mers, but rosé, clairet and red wine are also made. The red Bordeaux is made from a classic red Bordeaux blend consisting mainly of Merlot with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The wine is partly aged in steel and partly in oak, which gives the wine a firmer structure but retains its fruitiness.

Wine is the Doublet family’s passion, and they have been based in Bordeaux since the end of the 18th century. Château Vignol in the Entre-Deux-Mers and Château Tour de Calens in the Graves are owned by Bernard and Dominique Doublet, while their sons Alexandre and Jean-Thomas are winemakers at Château Saint-Ange in Saint-Émillion. The estate was possessed by none other than the political philosopher Montesquieu in the 18th century, which makes Château Vignol unique.

The estate also produces red, rosé, and clairet wines, although today it is most known for its white Entre-Deux-Mers.

The traditional red Bordeaux mix, which is mostly composed of Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, is used to make the red Bordeaux. A portion of the wine is matured in
