Overlooking the river Garonne since the 1° Côtes, 30 km south-est from Bordeaux , Château Fauchey and its farm La Gironnière benefit of a « terroir » of drainy gravel and red clay good for vine production as mentioned in the Cocks and Féret. The castle from the xv° century was burnt after Revocation of the “Edit de Nantes” and rebuilt after 1855. At the turn of the century it was transformed into a“Curatorium”, a place for health cures, by eating grapes, for their quality. Vinegrowing is very traditional, production in low volumes, harvest sorted on a table. Vinifications of reds are in concrete for the slow variations; in stainless steel to regulate the temperature for the whites.

It's a wine to keep and a wine to drink, with aromas of cinamon, of leather and of blond tobacco leaves. It mixes fruit and tannins. It goes particularly well with prepared meats.
