Château Sainte-Marie is located in the middle of the prime wine-growing Entre-deux-Mers area between the Dordogne and Garonne rivers. The ideally oriented plots stretch across two hills with perfect exposure to the sun on some of the highest land in the Gironde département.
Old vines with controlled yields, including a plot of Semillon and Merlot over 100 years old, guarantee the excellence of an ever more qualitative production.
The great diversity of the terroir gathered at Château Sainte-Marie is an essential characteristic that can be found in the typicity, authenticity and expression of our wines. The richness of our terroirs offers a selection worthy of the finest wines. Our search for authenticity has led us to move beyond the geographical limits of the property to select islets located several kilometers apart. This selection, based on a rigorous geological study, brings together highly complementary terroirs.
The « Alios » plot located 8 kms (5 miles) from Sainte-Marie totals 14 hectares (341/2 acres) of clayey gravel soils.
Vieilles Vignes partially surrounds Sainte-Marie near the town of Targon and consists of 25 hectares (62 acres) of mainly clayey limestone.
The « Marcon » parcel in the city of La Sauve offers a limestone soil with a important and flush asteria.
The Moulin located in « Croignon », offers a superb panoramic view of the Entre-Deux-Mers and benefits from a clayey gravel soil that is crucial to our quality approach.
