Chateau des Zérans is a small chateau owned by the Gonet-Médeville couple. It is surrounded by the wonderful vineyards of Chateau Margaux, Chateau Lascombes, and Chateau Palmer, and the vineyards are located right next to Chateau Margaux, just a 3m walk away. The Gonet-Médeville couple come from a prestigious family in Champagne and Bordeaux. Xavier, the husband, is the third son of the prestigious Champagne family "Philippe Gonet" in Mesnil-sur-Oger, and his wife, Julie, is the third daughter of the prestigious Sauternes family "Chateau Gilette". The two met while they were students at the University of Bordeaux and married in 1997. In 2004, the couple started making wine in Bordeaux. In 2009, fate came to these two young men. They purchased vines from Eric Grandeur, who had been the winemaker at Chateau Margaux for three generations. In 2013, they also purchased the land and became the owners of the chateau. Eric, who knows Chateau Margaux inside and out, believed in the passion and potential of the two young men for wine and entrusted this wonderful vineyard to them. The vineyard has typical Margaux geology, with granite layers extending 22 meters underground. The two men, who place importance on terroir, replanted the vines in 2009 and began cultivating using the lutte raisonnée method, which does not use pesticides. Although they are not certified organic, they practice organic farming and plan to switch to biodynamic farming in the future. Aiming to express the terroir and produce wines with plenty of fruitiness and suppleness, the two men separate the grapes by plot and make Burgundy-style wines. With the completion of a brewery equipped with modern facilities, this chateau is now producing even higher quality wines and is garnering attention for its refined wines.
