Château du Mont
シャトー・デュ・モン
Four-generation organic family estate spanning Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, Sauternes, and Graves — hand-harvested, terroir-driven wines.
Château du Mont is a family-owned estate managed by the Chouvac family for four generations, with roots tracing back to the end of the 19th century. Located in the heart of the Sainte-Croix-du-Mont appellation, the estate spans 25 hectares across three prestigious Bordeaux appellations — Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, Sauternes, and Graves — producing over 100,000 bottles annually. Current owners Hervé Chouvac and his wife Claire are committed to organic viticulture and exclusive hand harvesting. Formal bottling began in 1975 under Paul Chouvac. The vineyards sit on a rocky limestone plateau overlooking the Garonne River, cultivating Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Chouvacs warmly welcome visitors for guided tours and multi-appellation tastings at their beautiful stone house.
