Château Cap Léon Veyrin

The Château Cap Léon Veyrin has been family-owned since 1810, when the two original estates, Château Cap Léon and the Veyrin, were merged. The vineyard of Cap Veyrin derives its name because it sits at the highest point, or “head,” of Listrac Médoc, and boasts ideal natural drainage and sun exposure.

Today, Nathalie and Julien Meyre are the 6th generation of this Médoc family of winegrowers to manage the property. Their family traditions are perpetuated with care, including the growing focus on Merlot, the hand-picking of each grape, the practice of barrel-aging for 12 months, and the technique of refining wines with egg white.

Nathalie and Julien now bring their own new experience and flair to the famous Cru Bourgeois of the Médoc.

Château Sorbey is part of Château Cap Léon Veyrin and is owned by the Meyre family since 1810. A family home to the successive generations, Château Cap Léon Veyrin was once two separate châteaux, Château Cap Léon and Château du Domaine de Veyrin.

The property has been modified over time and now boasts 5 charming bed and breakfast rooms alongside a place for work, equipped with wine-making and ageing cellars and a bottling line.
