Château Cap Léon Veyrin

A family-owned estate since 1810, Château Cap Léon Veyrin originated from the merger of Château Cap Léon and the Veyrin estate. ‘Cap’ derives from the word ‘tête’ (head). Indeed, the Cap Léon vineyard is situated on the highest points of Listrac-Médoc, thus ensuring natural drainage and ideal sunshine. Nathalie and Julien Meyre, the sixth generation of the family to run this estate, are carrying on the tradition: a predominance of Merlot, fining with egg white, 12 months’ ageing in barrels, and hand-harvesting for the younger plots and old vines, whilst bringing their own dynamism to the estate today.
