Château Vignol

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.

Château Vignol has been in the possession of the Doublet family since the end of the 18th century. Bernard and Dominique Doublet are the current owners of Château Vignol, which is located in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers, about 15 kilometres from Saint Emilion.

The vineyards, 7 hectares in total, are planted with 15-year-old vines. The soil here consists of limestone with a top layer of gravel.

Fresh red fruit and some spice on the nose. Also fruity on the palate, with light tannins and a spicy finish. This wine pairs well with classic meat dishes.
