Activity Description
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.
Our property is overseen by our team whose considerable experience perfectly blends old-world disciplines with new world techniques.
Vineyard
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, our 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.
Our vines have an average age of 40 years, producing the modest quantities of intensely flavoured fruit necessary for our premium wines. They are close-planted to ensure deeper root growth and rigorously tended by hand throughout the year. Regular de-leafing and green-harvesting helps concentrate the character of the 'terroir' into the best fruit.
All of the fruit used to make Château de Sours wines is grown on the surrounding property, with the following grapes used to create our distinctive vintages.
