Chateau Plegat la Graviere 1 Items

Chateau du Grand Bos is located in Castres, in a part of the Graves appellation where one finds some of the oldest Bordeaux vineyards dating from 2,000 years ago. The vineyard lies near the old Roman road named "Chemin Gallien". The Chateau is listed as a leading estate in its commune in editions of Cocks & Feret going back to 1868.

The vineyard, whose soil is composed of very deep gravel, ceased being cultivated in the 1950’s and when M. Vincent bought the property in 1988 it was in poor condition.

He immediately set out to replant and restore the vineyard as well as the Chateau. For now, M. Vincent is able to achieve an average vine age of 35 years by utilising a portion of his neighbor’s vineyard.
