A Bordeaux that is given its time.
LaSuite aux Conseillans
A boutique winery just outside the city — wines that mirror the character of the movements of a musical suite.
Over ten years in the cellar before the first bottle leaves the estate. Dark cherry, a hint of cedarwood, a long, calm finish.
Here, wine grows up with music.
Classical music resonates through the vineyards all year round. Ellen, herself a trained concert pianist, directs the estate's music; each cuvée is inspired by a movement of the musical suite and carries its name. And we invite young musicians to perform concerts at the estate — supported by the Fonds aux Conseillans.
A haven at the gates of Bordeaux.
Vines, meadows, woods and a small stream. Five hectares, which we harvest plot by plot by hand — with the patience of a family estate.
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.
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.
The fermata.
The sign of holding a note – for as long as it wants to sound. This is also how we treat our wines.

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.
