A Winemaking Tradition Steeped in History

This passion shines through in every bottle, offering an authentic taste of Bordeaux.
The Vineyards and Terroir
Located in the Médoc region, Château du Raux benefits from Bordeaux’s temperate maritime climate. The vineyards thrive on well-drained gravel and clay soils that encourage deep root growth and concentrate the fruit’s intensity.
The climate brings warm summers and mild winters, perfect for nurturing Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and other classic Bordeaux grape varieties. This terroir gives the wines their distinct mineral notes and structured elegance.
