In the early 19th century, Mr Capdeville, owner of Château Broustet, acquired a neighbouring property, Château Nairac.
Broustet-Nairac” was awarded the rank of second Grand Cru in the 1855 classification.
At the end of the 19th century, the Fournier family acquired Château Broustet and set up a cooperage.
The model for the 225-litre Bordeaux barrel is said to have come from Broustet, as attested by the archives of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce.
Located in Barsac, this magnificent estate has belonged to Vignobles de Terroirs (Groupe Taillan) since 2010.
Château Broustet’s vineyards are planted on two terroirs: clay-limestone and gravel.
In late summer, the morning fog warmed by the sun allows noble rot to develop early and slowly.
The pebbles strewn with topaz capture the heat and release it gradually, optimising the over-ripening of each berry.
The grapes are selectively and successively sorted by hand.
The result is an exceptional wine, one of the finest sweet wines in the world.
