Discover Château de Cranne

Winegrower Vincent Lacoste is the sixth generation of his family to produce wines in the heart of Bordeaux on the banks of the Garonne River. The story of Château de Cranne began in 1833 when Jean Villers bought the estate. Vincent took over the estate in 2008, and by 2009, he had obtained organic farming certification. In the same year, INAO declared the merging of four previously recognized communes into the new Côtes-de-Bordeaux appellation. Côtes-de-Bordeaux is the youngest AOC appellation in Bordeaux, and it is here that you can find hidden gems for great value -- prime examples are the wines from Château de Cranne.

Château de Cranne has vineyards covering 43 hectares. Their organic vineyards are said to be a tapestry of diversity: terroirs, colours, varietals and know-how. "We are committed to offering fruity wines to be tasted on the spot or kept for major events. The promise of a moment of sharing, conviviality, and discovery." - Vincent Lacoste

Discover Château de Cranne

In this case, you can actually judge a book by its cover (or a bottle by its label). The fun wine labels embody the joy of sharing a glass of Château de Cranne among friends and family. Both the winemakers and the estate is entertaining. Winemaker Vincent Lacoste is a rugby player and has a passion for a good bbq (he's even a Big Green Egg Ambassador — if you don't know what that is, Google it!). If you visit the estate, you cannot only taste wine and learn about the Château's history but experience escape rooms, walk a sensory/sound path among the vines, dine, and see the apiarium on the estate (where their bees live, producing honey and helping the ecosystem flourish).

Wild Wines is delighted to add three of Château de Cranne's organically certified wines to the portfolio.

Dompter la Bête ("Tame the Beast!")

Merlot and Cabernet

"I vinify this cuvée with the idea of ​​a light red wine: ready to drink, fresh red fruits, long and balanced finish." Vincent Lacoste.

Organic Orange

Orange wine from Sémillon vinified in maceration. This unique creation demonstrates the ingenious creativity of its winemaker. Lively, fresh and exquisitely gastronomic.

Organic Black

A full-bodied young Malbec from plot-by-plot vinification of small ripe berries with a purple tinge and dusty hints of dark berries and liquorice. Fresh acidity and a nice crunch of tannin. Natural yeast, organic, delecta!
