Producer Information

Château Broustet is a wine estate based in the famous sweet white wine-producing commune of Barsac (which shares the Sauternes title) some 40km (24 miles) southeast of Bordeaux city center. The estate was classified a Second Growth in the 1855 classification of Sauternes and Barsac. The estate boasts 17 hectares (42 acres) under vine with plantings predominantly Sémillon (75 percent). The remainder of the vineyard is composed of Sauvignon Blanc (15 percent) and five percent Muscadelle. Wines are fermented in tank and aged in oak barrels for up to 18 months. Annual production in 20,000 bottles and as well as the grand vin (the eponymous Château Broustet) a second wine – Les Charmes de Château Broustet – is also produced at the estate. Although predominantly geared to sweet, botrytised white wine production, Broustet has (in the past) produced a dry white wine although bottles of this are comparatively rare. The estate’s history is linked to its neighbor (and now fellow Second Growth), Château Nairac. Indeed, at the time of the 1855 Classification of Sauternes and Barsac, the two estates were one property (Nairac had been acquired by Broustet’s then-owner: Bernard Capdeville) and the wine was known as Château Broustet-Nairac. During the château’s ownership by the Fourier family (in the latter half of the 19th Century) it also became the location of a tonnellerie (a barrel-maker) and the locale is credited with being the origin of the modern-day 225-liter Bordeaux barrique. The estate has been part of the Bordeaux-based Vignobles de Terroirs group since 2010. The company has a range of estates in its portfolio, including the Médoc properties Château Les Lattes and Château Carcanieux as well as Château Carillon in Fronsac and Les Carrals du Château Quattre in Cahors.
