The LaSuite aux Conseillans estate near Bordeaux in the evening light – château, vines and woodland.

A Bordeaux that is given its time.

LaSuite aux Conseillans

A boutique estate at the gates of Bordeaux, whose wines are inspired by the movements of a musical suite.

Just released
Sarabande2015

Over ten years in the cellar before the first bottle leaves the estate. Dark cherry, a hint of cedarwood, a long, calm finish.

Concerts

Music, at the heart of the estate.

We invite guests to concerts: in the Salle de Dégustation, in the courtyard and in the park beneath the old trees. You sit close to the musicians, and the wine is never far away.

Music in the vineyard

All day long, music drifts over the estate.

Among the vines, in the barrel cellar and in the bottle store, from morning until evening. At night, everything rests.

The Estate

A refuge between forest and vines.

Vines, meadows, woods and a small stream. Five hectares, which we harvest plot by plot by hand — with the patience of a family estate.

Nature & Tranquility

A protected area in its own right, since 1975.

Bees, deer, a stream in the forest. What grows here, grows in peace — and with its own ecological commitment.

We're waiting until the wine is ready.
Time

We're waiting until the wine is ready.

A good Bordeaux needs years to mature. We store the vintages in our own cellar until they are ready. We do the waiting for you.

Origin

Coined by a co-founder of modern oenology.

For decades, the Domaine was the winery of Jean Ribéreau-Gayon, one of the key founders of modern oenology. He shaped it — and his legacy continues to influence every decision to this day, both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
