The Courrèges family have been growing grapes at Château LE SENS in Saint Caprais de Bordeaux since the 18th century (French revolution 1789). Detailed know-how has thus been handed down through eight generations of winegrowers in a moderated way of agriculture.

Consistent focus on producing high-quality wines has
been rewarded by recommendations in the Guide Hachette
des vins
(every year since 1994), several articles in the wine
press (Revue des Vins de France, etc.) and a number of awards in major
agricultural shows (Paris and Bordeaux).
Advice before drinking our wines
Two kinds of sediments are created by the bottled wines. The first one looks like micro crystals, the second one tints the inside surface of the bottle.
This is totally natural ! It is only the expression of this alive product !
For the red wines, decant the bottle without shaking it. Let the wine breathing the air for some hours in a wide carafe and at the temperature of the room where you will taste it.
For the white wines, that must be served cold, you must not shake the bottle so as to keep the micro-crystal’s sediments in the bottom. Keep the bottle in an ice bucket. If you do not drink the whole bottle, you can close it again with the former cork or a plastic top of bottle.
