Château Marsau
High above the Dordogne valley, in the Libournais corner of Francs‑Côtes‑de‑Bordeaux, Château Marsau feels like a small island of vines framed by woods and pasture. Its recent momentum has a clear date: at the end of 2017, Anne‑Laurence and Mathieu Chadronnier purchased the estate from the family and turned it into their own, far from Médoc grandeur and close to the ground that matters.
Merlot rules on deep clay soils around 100 metres in elevation, worked block by block and handled with gentle extraction to protect texture. Organic conversion began in 2018; by 2019 the team largely stopped tilling to keep soils alive, and organic certification arrived in 2021. Marsau’s story is modern Right Bank Bordeaux—precision, biodiversity and terroir clarity—built through daily choices rather than glossy rhetoric.Château Marsau
