CHATEAU FRANC BAUDRON

Château Franc Baudron is the story of a family vineyard since 1923, rooted in Montagne Saint-Émilion. 
Generation after generation, we passionately cultivate sincere, deep and nature-friendly wines, on clay-limestone soils typical of our appellation. For over a century, our commitment has remained the same: to share our land with honesty, without artifice, and always in a spirit of sharing.

Pioneers of organic farming in the sector, we began our conversion in 2010, convinced that a great wine begins with a living land. Today, our 40 hectares of vines are certified organic and managed with care, using an approach that is both rigorous and caring. 


And this respect also comes through simple and sustainable practices. 
In our country, it is the sheep that mow the grass between the rows of vines. Through eco-grazing, we naturally maintain our soils, limit the passage of machinery, and strengthen biodiversity. Our sheep have become valuable allies — and somewhat like the mascots of the estate.

Beyond the vine, we are actively engaged in research to advance the viticulture of tomorrow. 
For several years, we have been participating in field studies in partnership with the Chamber of Agriculture, INRAE and other independent organizations. These projects explore topics as varied as biodiversity (fauna, flora), pesticide residues in soils, and the impacts of agriculture on human health. EBeing a winemaker also means remaining curious, responsible and looking to the future.

Our simple and functional cellar reflects our philosophy: letting the grapes express themselves, without makeup. 
Between tradition and precision, we vinify gently to reveal the purity of the fruit and the finesse of the terroir. We produce a varied range, from thirst-quenching wines to wines for laying down, so that everyone can find what they are looking for - from those who love fine wines to those who are curious about authenticity.

Château Franc Baudron is also a place to live. 
We love to welcome, introduce and tell people about our wines, just as we would share a meal with friends. Because more than just a domain, it is a human adventure, driven by a close-knit team and driven by the same desire: to make wine a true moment of pleasure.

At Château Franc Baudron, we make it a point of honor to reveal the typical characteristics of our terroirs through single-plot vintages, where Merlot and Cabernet Franc are co-fermented to express the true nature of the soil.

On clay, our wines are distinguished by their fruitiness and freshness, while the limestone plateaus offer finesse and structure, fully embodying the identity of the Saint-Émilion Mountain.

The Authentique cuvée expresses the freshness and fruitiness of the clay soils, while the Château Franc Baudron Cuvée highlights the clay-limestone hillsides. Finally, L'Audacieux rouge perfectly reflects the minerality and concentration of the limestone soils of our plateaus.

The Baudron (clay soils) and Mirande (limestone soils) vintages reflect these terroirs in a natural version, without additives, with traditional vinification and traditional work.

Our Bordeaux wines are above all wines for sharing and conviviality: fruity, accessible and easy to appreciate. In red, white or rosé, they accompany all your simple and warm moments.

L'Audacieux blanc is a micro-cuvée aged in barrels, dedicated to Sémillon, the king grape variety of white Bordeaux, which reveals all its finesse and elegance.

Finally, our sweet vintages are refined single-varietal wines: Aux Portes de Baudron in red Malbec and Grains d'Automne in white Sauvignon Gris. Perfect for aperitifs, foie gras or cheese platters, they offer sweetness and character.
