Château Paloumey a cru bourgeois in the Haut Medoc that rare thing in Bordeaux, a property that has been completely reinvented.
Well established in the early 19th century Paloumey was a victim of Phyloxera and the economic crisis that led to it being uprooted and disappearing in the 1950s.
Never one to be afraid of a challenge , Martine Cazeneuve, purchased the house and land in 1989 and started from scratch; no vines, no cellars, no nothing!
The property is now over 30 ha in size all under sustainable agriculture and the signature dove can be found on the labels or capsules. Why a dove? A Palombe is the wild dove that migrates through the region to and from Spain and a Paloumey is the route the doves follow. Hence the name of the second wine ‘ Les Ailes de Paloumey’ the wings of a Dove.
