About this producer:

It all begins in the Second Empire, on the estate of the Marquis de Calvimont. The land of the Château de Cérons is divided into two parts following the construction of the National linking from Bordeaux to Spain. Thus the Grand Enclos du Château de Cérons gained its independence, and is now over 200 years old.

A couple centuries later- Giorgio Cavanna, born in Rome, Italy, studied French and then went on to work in the wine industry between Italy and France. As soon as he had time, he returned to Tuscany, on the estate of Castello di Ama. It is a magnificent winery that was bought by his father and three other partners in 1972.

Thanks to their work, the estate has become one of the most renowned in Tuscany. Giorgio spent a good part of his adolescence there and regularly met one of the greatest names in oenology, Patrick Léon, who put the Cavannas on the path to making great wines.

His long association and friendship with Patrick Léon and his son Bertrand led him to buy the Grand Enclos. Fascinated by the Graves terroir, it is able to produce fantastic white, red and sweet wines.

A passionate team- Giorgio surrounds himself with the best assets to bring the estate to life: Bertrand Léon, an oenologist from the region, has already established his reputation as a winemaker He oversees this estate that has now long proven itself to be top class.

Xavier Dauba, the manager and technical manager in Cérons, is a wine enthusiast and another local child. He ensures that the grapes reach an irreproachable maturity, and the tandem then work together to produce a better wine every year.
