Chateau Desmirail

DESMIRAIL is fortunate to have a range of plots that are well consolidated and spread over three production areas.

These three areas are all located on a terroir characterized by deep gravel terroir from the Quaternary period, yet each contributes its own personality to the production of Château Desmirail.- 9 hectares in Margaux-Cantenac, including an island of 6 hectares adjacent to other prestigious growths, notably Brane-Cantenac, Rauzan-Ségla and Palmer.

13 hectares in Soussans, including three blocks of 3.5 hectares or more 13 hectares in a single block in Arsac, adjacent to Château du Tertre, another Grand Cru Classé. A 5-hectare plot in the Haut-Médoc completes the property.


We grow four of the six Bordeaux grape varieties on these 40 hectares, which also contributes to the complexity of our wines:

Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives the wine its structure and longevity, represents about 50% of the planted area.

Merlot, which contributes roundness, represents about 40% of the planted area.
Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, which represent 10% of the vineyard, play the role of spices in the blend.
