About this producer:

The word "lande" would originate from the Celtic term "landa" which refers to poor and uncultivated lands where broom and heather grow. This difficult soil is actually favorable for grapevines, providing only few but high-quality grapes. One of the most famous terroirs is Lalande de Pomerol. Conditions are optimal to produce a great wine when, as at Château Pré la Lande, the land culminates on the slope of a hill overlooking the Vallée de la Dordogne.

The Château Pré la Lande has been producing wine since 1860 from the slope of a hill situated at 120 meters, one of the peaks in Gironde. The natural slopes guarantee a good drainage and the proximity of the Dordogne river a mild climate.

Through this and the soil, the Baucé's have become producers of outstanding organic wines. They have the utmost respect for nature and the environment & have adapted modern facilities with “green” equipment & employ organic practices in the vineyards, all with the end purpose of being accountable for preserving the environment that in return allows them to make these beautiful wines. They are fortunate to have a unique & gentle micro-climate that allows the grapes to reach optimum maturity. The Family Baucés credo is “Great quality wines come from healthy, naturally grown, ripe grapes and nothing else”.
