Our legacy
Nestled in the heart of the renowned Pomerol appellation on the right bank of Bordeaux, Château La Commanderie is a true little garden where quality and excellence are cultivated, much like its prestigious neighbors such as Pétrus, Château Le Pin, and Château Cheval Blanc in Saint-Emilion.
Soil&Water
Ecosystem
Sustainability
At Château La Commanderie, the vat room has been designed so that each plot can be vinified separately. The harvest is received by gravity, and each grape is carefully and meticulously selected before being vatted. Finally, the barrel cellar houses around a hundred French oak barrels made by renowned coopers with centuries-old expertise.
an exceptional terroir
The 6 hectares of Château La Commanderie form a strip oriented south to north, embracing the cellars and on which Merlot (88%) and Cabernet Franc (12%) flourish.
Despite its modest size, the vineyard offers a remarkable diversity of soils: sandy to the south, clayey in the center, and gravelly to the north. It is this combination of terroirs that partly gives Château La Commanderie’s wine its complexity and elegance.
