Chateau Lezongars

Direct to the shop pages for Chateau Lezongars

Since taking the vineyard over in 1998 the new owners, the Iles family,have radically changed every aspect of the property in order to achieve their goal, which is to produce the best wine in the appellation of Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux.
Château Lezongars is situated in the little village of Villenave de-Rions perched on top of a limestone escarpment with spectacular views towards the River Garonne and the flatter lands of the Graves appellation across the river. Most of the 45 hectares of vines surround the village, either on top of the escarpment or on highly desirable south facing slopes, guaranteeing full exposure to the ripening powers of the sun.

From the work in the vine yard to the making of the wines they engage the services of top consultants who ensure optimum quality. All the wines are produced with a common theme of being "fruit driven" using modern wine making techniques and methods but with a healthy regard for traditional winemaking skills pioneered in France, and revered world-wide. The wines also respect the "terroir" with which they are blessed and are easy to approach, of exceptional quality and represent excellent value for money.

All these factors combine to ensure that Chateau Lezongars and Chateau de Roques are counted amongst the "New Wave" of producers in Bordeaux, turning the criticism of "unexciting and expensive Bordeaux" on its head!
