Producer Information
Like all the stories, it always starts with a legend. Much before the Renaissance château surrounded by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon wine varieties, there used to be a feudal castle : let’s go back to the era of St Louis. At that time, Morillon belonged to the Brun de Gadeau family, famous and powerful lords in the region. This big reputation appealed King Saint-Louis who stayed there 1242, further to his big victories in Saintes & Taillebourg against Henri III, the king of England. According to legend, Louis found this a haven of peace and an ideal place to rest with his troups. It is said that his ghost lives in the estate. Château Morillon is located in the small village of Campugnan, to the north of Blaye, at 50 kilometers north of the city of Bordeaux. It is a huge vineyard with more than 35 hectares of land, at the heart of green landscapes, composed of meadows and forests. The estate has grown 20 hectares of organically certified vines since 2007 (conversion in 2004). The cultivated wine varieties are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and for the last few years, Malbec and Marselan have been replanted, because they like the local terroir very much.
