Château Vieux Taillefer

The 4.8 hectares of vineyards belonging to Château Vieux Taillefer, made up of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, were bought at the end of 2006 by Catherine and Philippe Cohen. They settled in this terroir combining clay-limestone and crasse de fer (ferruginous sandstone) land in Vignonet on the banks of the river in the Libournais. The estate, produces three wines: Château Vieux Taillefer, Pavillon de Taillefer and Blanc du Château Vieux Taillefer. Fans of Bourgogne wines, the Cohens wanted to produce fruitful, pleasurable wines, unlike the usual Bordeaux classics.
