Château La Couspaude

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

AUBERT FAMILY

Château La Couspaude is located in the heart of Saint-Emilion, near the famous monolithic church carved out of solid rock.

A STORY

In a few words

La Couspaude has been the pride and joy of the Aubert family (who also own other estates in the region) for over a century. The Auberts have been making fine wine in Bordeaux for over two centuries and have maintained the family tradition of quality and respect for the terroir to the present day.

 

La Couspaude, was called “La Croix Paute“ in the Middle Ages in reference to the cross that still marks the intersection of two roads in front of the estate, and which served as a meeting point for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

 

Entirely surrounded by walls, like all of the village’s most ancient vineyards, the estate is situated on the Saint-Emilion limestone plateau.

 

Château La Couspaude also has underground cellars where the wine is fermented and aged in barrels, as well as a magnificent reception room.
