Château Plaisance
On a steep south‑facing hillside in Capian, Bordeaux, Château Plaisance is an 18th‑century country manor—one of those elegant “folies bordelaises” once linked to the famed restaurateur Dubern. Since 2005, Philippe Magrez has steered the estate, blending family winegrowing roots with a modern, disciplined vision.
The 23‑hectare vineyard, largely Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon, lies on silty‑clay soils that hold warmth yet keep a cooling line of freshness. Parcels are harvested to capture ripeness without heaviness; technology in the cellar is used as a lens, not as a filter.
Clean extractions, temperature‑controlled fermentations and élevage that prioritises shape over show give the wines their quiet confidence. Plaisance speaks Bordeaux with clarity—approachable in spirit, serious in craftsmanship, and anchored in the patient work of the slope.Château Plaisance
