More about this Producer
Thierry Simon & Philippe Vérax bought this property in august 2001. Since 2002 they have reconverted Château Lacapelle-Cabanac to the organic and biodynamic culture.
In 1978, the owner of the Château Lacapelle-Cabanac restored a building invaded by waste land and converted this outbuilding into a winery. During the restoration work, he discovered a structure of arched stones where the upper part was covered with fine channels. These were the vestiges of the winery dating from the 18th century. On the top part, the grapes were trodden and the juice flowed out by the channels into hogsheads which were placed on the floor. More than 200 years later Château Lacapelle Cabanac has just returned to its wine-growing vocation.
