Built between the 17th and18th century, the Château de Cérons was formely the home of the Calvimont family.
This classical and stately building is typical of the architecture of the Bordeaux area during this period.
In his 1850 classification of Bordeaux Great Wines, Charles Cocks, considered it to be one of the best vineyards in Sauternes
A blissful place, 35 km from Bordeaux, Cérons got its name from the Ciron river which separates the gravelly hilltops of Sauternes, Bommes and Preignac from the plateau of Barsac and Cérons. This generates a microclimate which produces the miracle of the golden wines of Sauternes. After the morning mists come warm afternoons, conditions that favour the growth on the grape of Botrytis Cinerea , the famous "noble rot".
