The Guasch family have been in Gascony since the 12th century. They have owned the chateau at Bordeneuve since 1974 and are one of the region`s largest courtier and negociant operations. Today the father and son team of Jean-Claude and Thomas look after viticulture, vinification and distillation. Bordeneuve has 30 hectares dedicated to vineyards; 75% are planted with ugni blanc and the rest with baco. The vineyards are superbly situated on very fine clay-sand soils.
