Shop Château Penin

Château Penin is situated in an exceptional territory, in the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards.

Between Garonne and Dordogne:

The name of the region, “entre deux mers” is derived from its location between the two tidal rivers; Dordogne and Garonne.

The multitude of rolling hillsand terraces create a perfect playground for the vines to grow and develop, their roots buried deep in this land that they seem to have made their own.

In harmony and with the help of man, who over the centuries, have developed many mythical wines. Objects of lust, desire, speculation, but also a source of culture and pleasure.

The farm is family owned (purchased by Louis CARTEYRON and his son Jacques in 1855). For many years the production was divided between growing fruits, nectarines / peaches and producing wine.

In 1964 Hubert CARTEYRON, the father of Patrick, the current operator, began marketing Château Penin in bottles.

The property:

The estate has grown in size over the years to reach todays 50 hectares in total. The objective has been to group plots together and to acquire new“terroirs” and soil exposures. : This has now given us the basis to produce a large and varied selection of different wines.

(See the terroirs of Château Penin)

This voluntary work, both on the soils and les cépages on the selection of grape varieties (Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris) has made it possible to segment production. Each plot is harvested according to the maturity necessary for the production of each wine then vinified and aged separately.
