WELCOME TO THE CASTLE LISENNES

Lisennes Castle is a family of his 53 hectares vineyard is situated on the outskirts of Bordeaux and the three grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are also represented. Annual production is about 400,000 bottles.

The name "Lisennes" appears for the first time in 1758. The origin of the name probably comes from the Old French "Lise", already used by Rabelais to designate land for clay-limestone.

The main building of type: "chartreuse" dated XVIII century, and it was Jean Laporte who will give it its final touch during the Revolution by building a magnificent wrought iron gate that appears on all our labels.
Many owners have succeeded until 1938, when Jean-Leon SOUBIE moved to Braids. Our family grows with love this vineyard for four generations.

Culture of the vine prefers traditional methods. On drained soils, the yield control remains the primary goal. Vinification is carried out by Jean-Pierre SOUBIE, winemaker, assisted by competent staff. Fermentation at controlled temperature are followed by long maceration. The wines then stay several months in oak barrels before bottling at the chateau. These bottles are then stored in local isotherms to shipping.
