  • Chateau Leotins belongs to the Lumeau family since 4 generations. The vineyard is located at Sauveterre de Guyenne, in Gironde (33), around 35 km from Saint Emilion.
  • Sauveterre is the largest wine district of France, situated in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region.
  • The Lumeau vineyards are one of the largest properties in the Sauveterre region.
  • From 45 hectares in the '80s, we count today more than 140, spread for the most part around the family house in Sauveterre de Guyenne. The clay-limestone soil typical of the region hosts the classic grape varieties of red and rosé Bordeaux wines: Merlot mainly, then Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
  • For the white wines of the Entre-deux-Mers appellation, we find equal parts of the famous Sauvignon and Semillon. Some of the vines can reach 50 years of age, thus offering very qualitative harvests.
  • The arrival of new generations is often synonymous with innovation. Also, Xavier wanted to diversify the grape varieties of the Lumeau vineyards, to bring complementary characteristics to the wines: Petit Verdot and Malbec.
