Château FAYAU
Nestled at the gateway to Cadillac, Château Fayau is the historic birthplace of Vignobles Médeville. It all began in 1826 when Jérôme Médeville, then a cooper, acquired this estate whose winemaking origins date back to 1711. Today, Jean and Marc Médeville passionately embody the eighth generation of this lineage of artisans, blending a taste for tradition with a modern vision of viticulture.
Overlooking the ducal city, the estate’s vineyard covers approximately 41 hectares. Its great typicity relies on an exceptional terroir that combines clay-limestone summits with high plains of clay-siliceous and gravelly soils.
Thanks to this geological richness, Château Fayau crafts a remarkable palette of wines: sweet white Cadillac wines of great aromatic finesse, fleshy red Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux, as well as dry whites and rosés of superb freshness. A precious family heritage to discover with every tasting.
