Chateau Coudert-Mauvezin
HISTORY
The Coudert vineyards have their roots at Château Coudert-Mauvezin! It is in fact on the place called Mauvezin that in 1865 the first vines were planted by the Bergeon family. Mr. Bergeon and his son-in-law Jean Baudou will produce the first wines then only in white.
Many restructurings were subsequently carried out by the Baudou family and then the Coudert family and today this beautiful hilly estate, planted exclusively with Merlot noir, produces a high quality red wine in AOC Bordeaux Supérieur.
