"We cannot constantly talk about the terroir without doing something to protect it" - This is the credo of Claire Villars-Lurton, owner of Château Haut-Bages Libéral, 5th Grand Cru Classé in 1855 in Pauillac. Determined to protect this exceptional place and to pass on a healthy vineyard to her children, Claire has been reconnecting for several years with ancestral and sustainable viticulture.
Since 2007, organic viticulture, biodynamics, agroecology and agroforestry have become its best allies, allowing Château Haut-Bages Libéral to finally express the true nature of its terroir through the production of Great Living Wines. The vineyard of Château Haut-Bages Libéral, located on the historic Bages plateau and benefits from direct proximity to the Gironde Estuary.
