Chateau de Sours

Situated high up on a commanding limestone plateau just to the south-west of Libourne and Pomerol and facing St. Emilion, Château de Sours has been producing extraordinarily good wine for over 200 years. Today, the winemakers continue to blend the traditional rigour and craftsmanship of the region with a modern creative approach that produces some of Bordeaux's most respected red and white wines, and is leading a renewed global interest in top class rosé.

Château de Sours originally dates back to the 14th century, when it served as an inn on the 'St. Jacques de Compostelle' pilgrimage route to Northern Spain. The current house was built in 1792 by the Comtes du Richemont, who survived the French Revolution and subsequently renovated the property and planted its first vines.

Château de Sours has now once again been renovated and restored to it's former glory by proprietors Martin and Nicolette Krajewski. It produces a fine wine range of excellent wines that have won much praise around the world. Under Martin's invitation, some of Bordeaux's leading oeneologists have worked with Château de Sours to produce wines that that are acclaimed the world over.

Château de Sours ensures the quality of its wines by concentrating the natural advantages of the vineyard into a relatively small annual production of red, white and rosé wines and our 'Reserve de Sours' sparkling rosé.

They produce four red and white wines, each made through a blend of traditional rigour and innovative new-world flair, whilst our 'Reserve de Sours' Sparkling Rosé is produced using the method champenoise secondary fermentation in bottle, followed by 10 months on the lees, before the final disgorgement.

The premium aged La Source and Chateau de Sours vintages receive regular critical acclaim; whilst the Château de Sours rosé wine is often proclaimed the best in the world.
