Estate
Cru Bourgeois in 1932, Château Maurac was subsequently divided up, then grew in size by absorbing the vines of Château Le Trale. The current estate has 18 hectares of beatiful vines. Eight hectares for Château Maurac les Vignes de Cabaleyran and ten for Château Maurac Cru Bourgeois. The first enjoys a gravel terroir and the second a soil of clay-limestone. Production of the wines respects these terroirs and reveals two identities.
