Nicolas Thienpont acquired three hectares in the Côtes de Castillon in 2011, near Monbadon’s castle. The vines are located on the top of the limestone plateau, with rock beneath red clay. Three years later, the vineyard grew to 6.5 hectares with new plots not far from St-Philippe-d’Aiguilhe, on a limestone plateau alternating between compact clay and very shallow soils. In 2020, a new sector in St-Genès-de-Castillon will enrich this vintage. This 2022 vintage is once again marked by a lively and racy style, with remarkable energy.
