Château de Bayle

Château de Bayle We ship our wines direct from our property in Targon, Bordeaux.

The biodynamic adventure began in 2017 with the takeover of the farm by Serge and Claudine Chauveau. Since the summer of 2022, SAS Séléné de Bayle has been pursuing the dynamic of natural wine on the clay-limestone hillsides of Targon in Entre-deux-Mers, 20km from St-Emilion and 35km from Bordeaux.

The wines of Château de Bayle reflect our values: to produce a natural wine with respect for our environment. Our wines are vinified, aged and bottled at the property under the Vin de France appellation, certified AB and Démeter.

The plots of vines have an area of 10 ha, cultivated biodynamically. The estate's grape varieties are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Sauvignon.

The Sauvignon harvest is manual, the bunches are destemmed then moderately pressed then put in stainless steel vats for vinification. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are mechanically harvested and then vinified in 10hl sandstone amphoras, while the Cabernet Franc and Merlot are mechanically harvested before being aged in a 50hl wooden cask and 100hl concrete vats.

The harvest receives a maximum dose of sulfur (2.5g/hl) and fermentation is done only by indigenous yeasts.

Our wines are aged in four 10HL sandstone amphorae, a 3HL terracotta egg and oak barrels for a variable period of 12 months. Two to three rackings are made during this period.

We have the demanding Démeter certification, which corresponds to our values.

Our future Blanc-Entre-deux and Orange vintages will have VNF (Vin Naturel France) certification this year.

Château de Bayle ELFE de BAYLE  Rouge AB & DEMETER Vin de France rouge

Château de Bayle Château de Bayle Cuvée ELFE  AOC Conversion AOC Bordeaux Supérieur rouge
Blend of the estate's grape varieties, from plots facing south and south-west:

55% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot.

The Elfe cuvée was aged in amphorae and in barrels of several wines for twelve months.

Characters: purple color with brilliant reflections, intense notes of spices then fruity notes. A more complex second nose with aromas of currant and light smoke. Mouth offering a very beautiful binder and a delicate touch. It is a balanced cuvée full of energy, a signature of the link with the place called Bayle.

Château de Bayle ONDINE de BAYLE Rouge AB & DEMETER Vin de France rouge
This Amphore Red is predominantly Cabernet Franc (65%), Merlot (35%).

The vinification was carried out without input other than a little sulphur.

Then the aging in amphorae has finished sublimating all its characters allowing the wine to develop mineral notes underlined by the sandstone of the amphorae.

The harmonization of the 4 elements has, here again, contributed to the balance.

Château de Bayle Château de Bayle Cuvée ONDINE DE BAYLE  AOC Bordeaux Supérieur rouge
This 100% Merlot was vinified in tuns, then aged in fine-grained barrels to allow it to breathe, to gain in amplitude without acquiring woody notes.

On the palate, all the subtlety of aging and the finesse of the Merlot are revealed to offer a balanced wine.

Not having undergone filtration to better preserve its integrity and its fruit, this bottle may present a slight deposit, a sign of its living and natural character.
