Château Champ de la Grave – Bordeaux Rosé
Les crémants de Bordeaux sont des vins "mousseux" blanc ou rosé. Issus de la région de l'Entre-Deux-Mers, les spécificités de ces vins sont fortement liées à leur terroir ainsi qu'à l'influence climatique océanique et tempérée de la région. Situés entre la Garonne et la Dordogne, les vignobles de crémant bénéficient d'un taux élevé d'humidité essentiel à leur élaboration, selon la méthode champenoise.
Situated in Saint-Romain de Vignague, within the commune of Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, Château Champ de la Grave belongs to Jean-Paul Souan and Patrick Lagardere. This place is known for its ancient catholic church, initially built in the 11th century and listed as a historic monument in 2002. The small river at Vignague, meaning "the stream which runs through the vines" now bears witness to the viticultural past of this region.
