Château Calvimont, Château Calvimont, AOP Cérons, Blanc,

Château de Cérons has always been linked to its vineyard. The property is named after the Marquis de Calvimont, a Bordeaux parliamentarian from Normandy, who during the 18th-century received many artists and intellectuals in the majestic salons of the Château. A place steeped in history and a winemaking tradition that has been carried on wonderfully since 1958 by the Perromat family.

Presentation

The Cérons appellation, located at the gateway to Sauternes, is an enclave in the Graves region. This fabulous terroir is marked by two specificities: a subsoil of limestone plates with asterias covered with gravel alluvial deposits and a particular microclimate. Those exceptional conditions are the hallmark of wines with a beautiful minerality and great aromatic precision. HVE 3 certified, respect for the environment and people are essential. Xavier Perromat has resumed meticulous plot work in order to reveal all the finesse and quality of this terroir. A true gem!
