Château Brillette

Château Brillette is one of the most famous vineyards in the commune of Moulis. In 1874, the famous Le Féret wine guide ranked it as one of the best in its appellation. After belonging to the Comte du Perrier de Larsan family for almost a century, the Château Brillette has belonged to the Flageul family since 1975. Two generations later, it's still the same passion that drives them.

Visit Château Brillette The Brillette vineyard covers 40 hectares. Situated on one of the highest points in the commune of Moulis, Brillette's terroir is made up of small gravelly soils which, in fine weather, give the wine a special brilliance that has given the estate its name: Brillette! The clay subsoil naturally regulates water intake, absorbing excess water in wet periods and releasing it in dry ones. The vineyard is managed in the traditional way (double Guyot pruning, soil cultivation), while incorporating the latest advances in viticulture (leaf thinning, green harvesting if necessary). This is done in accordance with the principle of "lutte raisonnée", a growing concern for respect for the environment (adapting treatments precisely to the needs of the vines).

The cellars and vats of Château Brillette were completely refurbished in 2000. As in all great Bordeaux vineyards, a meticulous selection is made during the blending process to determine which lots will make up the grand vin (Château Brillette) and the second wine (Les Hauts de Brillette).
