Château de Claribès – Bordeaux vineyard gîte

A renovated self-catering gîte (house) near Gensac (33 Gironde, Nouvelle Aquitaine) amongst the vines of Chateau de Claribès, British owned by Nick Kinder and his partner Helen – producing organic Bordeaux wines. The former vineyard workers stone cottage has been sympathetically restored to provide a spacious comfortable base for a vacation amongst the vineyards of Bordeaux.

For a more active holiday, your hosts will provide you with walking, cycling and running routes; a list of places to visit and point you in the direction of a fantastic array of restaurants in which to sample local food and wine!

The vineyard house sleeps 4 in two double en-suite bedrooms

Radiators, and a woodburning stove fuelled with logs from the local woods, provide warmth and ambiance for chilly out-of-season evenings, making this a practical house for short or long breaks at any time of the year.

The owners can also provide tours of the vineyard and will happily sell you a bottle (or more)from their extensive range of wines.

Established in the 16th Century, the Château’s limestone slopes and proximity to the Dordogne made it ideal for both grape growing and river transport into the port of Bordeaux. But now in the 21st Century an internet based wine business has been established. This allows customers to buy wines, at the Château door price, and have them delivered direct to their home or place of work.Château de Claribès

Château de Claribès – Côtes de Bordeaux

Organic wines from the Côtes de Bordeaux – using organic and biodynamic practices in the vineyards and winery. The  wines are suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

11 hectares of vineyard with varieties of vines chosen to harmonise with the soil and climate conditions. The grape varieties typify Côtes de Bordeaux, varieties that produce elegant white and rosé wines, and red wines that are full-bodied and refined. Vineyards surround the house and wineries, so the grapes arrive and start the winemaking process within minutes of being picked.

The Château is about 1 hour east of Bordeaux on the way to Bergerac – beyond St Emilion
