Our ruthless striving for excellence in our vineyards, and the precision and rigour of our production and vinification, limits the number of bottles we produce each year to a mere 30,000.
Our business strategy continues this desire for the highest quality, and we seek commercial partners who share our pleasure in a job well done.
Our wine is already sold in 4 member states of the European Union and developments are afoot in the United States and Asia. We are seeking to further export and broaden knowledge of this little-known appellation - the Côtes de Castillon - which benefits from soils as good as the best in Saint Emilion.

An intense and delicate wine with a wonderful full-bodied tannin. The nose oozes fine fruit, the mouth is perfectly balanced and very refreshing.

Tasting notes from the Chateau
Château Albà 2006
…currant, raspberry and black cherry come forward … wonderful highly enjoyable wine… the nose is remarkably intense and fruity with hints of spice and a background of pepper… when I’m looking for a good gift, they don’t come better than this, the bang for buck is unbeatable.
