Producer Description

Chateau Maine Gazin is a 7.5Ha property located 50kms north of Bordeaux, within the small village of Plassac. The property slopes north to south towards rolling hills of vineyards and to the west beautiful views of the Gironde River and across to the Medoc.

Rich limestone/ clay soils combine with the moderating influences of the Gironde to provide excellent terroir for red wine production. The vineyard is planted to 4.6Ha merlot, 1.4Ha petit Verdot & 1.2Ha cabernet franc.

April 2015 Chateau Maine Gazin begins. From Bondi Beach to Bordeaux region, Geoff and Marion had the yearning to get back to a rural pursuit after retiring. They had some farming experience and an involvement in a vineyard project in Pemberton, South West Australia. France was the target. The search began in September 2014 in south eastern France. Some weeks later they had strayed to the west and north of Bordeaux to find Chateau Maine Gazin. The view through the vines to the Gironde river did it and the property was acquired in April 2015.
