ABOUT CHATEAU MASSEREAU
Château Massereau is an extreme viticulture practiced with passion. The constant search for improvement at all stages of the production of original and naturally authentic wines. Massereau works naturally, but the style here is traditional. The wines are elegant and structured, and they age very well. The Graves is aged in neutral (not new) oak barrels and there's never any acidification or chaptalization done here. Farming is organic, and has been for about 20 years.
