The richness and refinement of a great red wine from Pomerol
The estate
Located in the very heart of Libourne, Château Mazeyres is an iconic property of the Pomerol appellation on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. The estate boasts ancient origins, dating back to Roman times. Since 1992, Alain Moueix has skillfully and passionately overseen Château Mazeyres, bringing his viticultural expertise and know-how.
The vineyard
The vineyard of Château Mazeyres covers 24.60 hectares of vines situated at the heart of the Pomerol appellation in an exceptional location. The vines have been cultivated biodynamically since 2012, with Biodyvin certification by Ecocert obtained in 2018. The vineyard of Château Mazeyres is planted on the western and southern terraces of the appellation, featuring three distinct types of terroir: fine clay gravels, clay sands, and gravelly clay-sands. The uniqueness of these soils gives Château Mazeyres wines their distinctive personality and signature velvety mouthfeel.
The vintage
Thanks to favorable conditions throughout the year, 2019 is undoubtedly an exceptional vintage for Château Mazeyres. Winter was mild, followed by a wet spring. Summer made a strong comeback at the end of June with soaring temperatures. The use of herbal teas and biodynamic preparations by the estate’s technical team helped to counter the risks brought on by the August rains. Meanwhile, the composition of the soils prevented the vines from suffering excessive water stress. For this 2019 vintage, the harvest at Château Mazeyres began on September 12 and ended on October 3.
