Chateau Haute Cariziere is a 35 hectare estate. All farming practices are organic. The vineyard is a family affair currently in its fourth generation. At the helm are husband and wife team Daniel Bideau and Marie-Beatrice Giraud. Marie-Beatrice’s grandfather originally acquired the vines in 1909 and she has been involved with the estate all her life. The site is quite special, being located on the former Armorican Massif, south-east facing, and planted on exceptionally varied and ancient soil. Their recipe for quality is simple: respect the environment and endeavor to ensure that all practices aim to foster biodiversity and sustainability. The result is the production of world class Muscadet.
