Château Dauzac
Grand Cru Classé in 1855 • Margaux, Bordeaux
"The pinnacle of elegance in Margaux: a Grand Cru Classé that merges biodynamic innovation with the classic power of Médoc."
1. Terroir, Biodiversity and Classification
Located in the prestigious Margaux appellation, Château Dauzac manages 49 hectares of vineyards on deep gravel soil. This collection represents the rebirth of one of the oldest French wine houses, standing out as a pioneer in the production of 100% vegan and sustainable wines.
Dauzac's technical mastery, supervised by the Bordeaux Wine Council (CIVB), is reflected in its status as Cinquième Cru Classé. The integration of Cabernet Sauvignon with the alluvial terroir allows for exceptional longevity, a characteristic that places it among the most sought-after wines for aging.
- Certification: Biodynamic practices endorsed by Demeter International.
- Style: Vegan certified wines with a focus on biodiversity.
- Oenology: Use of thermoregulated wooden vats for precise tannin extraction.
2. Sensory Profile: The Margaux Signature
The aromatic profile of Château Dauzac is a symphony of black fruits and violets. This balance has been validated by critics such as Decanter and James Suckling, who highlight the finesse of its tannins. In our selection of premium red wine, Dauzac stands out for a vibrant freshness that evolves into notes of spices and cedar with age.
Vinification is carried out without the use of animal proteins, maintaining the purity of the fruit. This modern approach makes it a benchmark among vegan Bordeaux wines, without sacrificing the opulence expected of a Grand Cru Classé.
Serving and Pairing Ritual
To honor the complexity of these wines, we recommend following WSET protocols:
Decanting: 60 to 90 minutes for young vintages; gentle decanting for historic vintages.
Glass: Bordeaux style (large bowl) to allow Cabernet to oxygenate.
Gastronomy: Ideal with grilled red meats, game, and medium-aged cheeses.
