The Story

Certified organic since the 2019 vintage, Château Paloumey comes from the blending of our 2 distinct terroirs, located in the Haut-Médoc appellation. In Ludon-Médoc, our 27 hectares of vines flourish on the Garonne gravel hillsides from the Quaternary era. This unique combination of sand and gravel, devoid of clay, provides an ideal environment for the development of Cabernet Sauvignon, the king grape variety of the Médoc. Additionally, our 10-hectare vineyard in Cussac-Fort-Médoc is situated on ancient Garonne gravels, characterized by slightly more clayey soil that gives structure to our wines.

About Ch Paloumey

Producer Story

Cha teau Paloumey is one of the oldest estates in the commune of Ludon Medoc. It was included in the first Feret edition published in 1850. The wines were very much appreciated in Belgium and the Netherlands. In 1895, the wines received the Gold and Silver Medals in the expositions of Anvers, Liege, Amsterdam, Hanoi, Paris, Lyon and Bordeaux. Chateau Paloumey was classified as a Cru Bourgeois Superieur in 1932. The phylloxera crisis and poor sales of the wines led to the pulling up of the vines. When Martine Cazeneuve purchased Chateau Paloumey in 1990, her goal was to revive a forgotten chateau with a prestigious terroir. Replanting the vineyard and rebuilding cellars have been a tremendous challenge to achieve the highest quality possible for Paloumey wines.
