A descendant of several generations of winemakers, Benoit took over a part of his parents’ vineyard in 1995, and then he took over his grandparents’ vines in 1997.
Since 2000, He has been in business with his wife. Today, their estate is comprised of a dozen hectares (30 acres) on different types of soil (Kimmeridgian marl, siliceous-clay and Villiers limestone).

 
 

They sell 80,000 bottles a year, essentially to C.H.R. (Cellar-Hotel-Restaurant), to individual clients and export with the constant concern of following-through in terms of quality and developing the well-reasoned policy of using a minimum of products to treat the vines in case of disease.

     

Vine age: average of 15 years

Surface: 9 ha (22,5 acres)

Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc/

Average annual production: 70,000 bottles

Soil type: Kimmeridgian marl and Villiers limestone
Villier limestone
is comprised of a great many white stones. This well-draining terrain heats up rapidly during the spring and encourages early ripening.
The Kimmeridgian marl (tiny oyster marl) contains an abundance of fossils. More clayey, this soil takes longer to heat thus ripeness is reached more slowly. It yields Pouilly Fumé wines with complex aromas which continue to develop.

The Plumet family has lived in Solutré Pouilly, a village in the Mâconnais region, for over a century. Living in Burgundy, a region well known for its wines, they, like most of their neighbours, nourished a strong interest and passion for wine. Since 1850, when the Plumets planted their first vine, the family wine business and viticultural expertise have been passed down from generation to generation.

The property is located on a sun-soaked hillside overlooking the small hamlet of Pouilly in the heart of the "Pouilly-Fuissé" appellation. The soil is limestone-based clay, ideal for producing wine in the great tradition of Burgundy. The estate currently allocates roughly two-thirds of the vineyards to cultivation of "Pouilly-Fuissé", and approximately one-third to "Saint-Véran". These vineyards are very mature and in combination with the soil produce a consistently high-quality wine.  A new planting of Mâcon-Solutré has recently been undertaken, and this sought-after varietal will be available from the estate beginning in 2014.

Awards: Pouilly-Fuissé 2007 received a 92/100 from  The Wine Spectator Magazine.

The Chateau Cardinal Villemaurine of 7 hectares of vines in Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. One feature of this property lies in the soil on which our grapes thrive. Indeed, the 7 acres are spread over five separate parcels, some of which are separated by several kilometers. Soils have different characteristics and that give our wine its complexity.

The varieties were selected based on soil we had to get the best possible maturity. Thus, our property we are 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Our grapes are picked by hand before being sorted and de-stemmed. To avoid damaging our grapes, we are bringing gravity in our temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

After maceration pre-fermentation cold a few days (color extraction) and a traditional vinification, our wine is aged in French oak barrels for 24 months to recover the tannins that will allow our wine to be ever more structured 15 years after bottling

The major part of our land has been in the hands of our family since the 19th Century.

On 10th August 1812 in the presence of Imperial Notary Antoine Cieux, the Cailley family acquired for 600.00 F in "metal coins", a parcel of land that was later to become Château Le Maine Martin. Since that date many generations of winegrowers have passed down from father to son their experience and passion for winemaking.

Graves de Vayres; This is an area with a very particular type of soil and the wines produced from this area were given the description 'Graves de Vayres' at the beginning of the XIX Century. The appellation was made official in 1931 and it became an appellation controlée in 1937.

The only way in which we can guarantee the quality of Château Toulouze from one year to the next is by maintaining the traditional wine-making methods that will give the wine its great finesse and enable it to keep for a long period of time.

 
     

Awards:
Mr Dussert Gerbe makes a classification of all the wines of Graves. Chateau Toulouze gets the second ranking for Great Wines and 1st in the priority to elegance.
