Château Beynat
Bordeaux, France
Château Beynat in the Castillon Côtes-de-Bordeaux AOC. The 100 year old estate was acquired in 2008 by Alain Tourenne, realising a childhood dream in the process.
Tourenne immediately converted the 17 hectares to organic viticulture, and made the change towards farming biodynamically in 2018.
Across the clay-limestone soils on the slopes of Saint-Magne-de-Castillon, there is a focus on Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, which the Château Beynat team tend to carefully by hand stripping and vine manipulation to ensure the grapes get optimum sunlight.
