The Bourceau family vineyard has existed for more than 6 generations and extends over more than 20 hectares. The estate is currently made up of three châteaux spread over three appellations: Château la Gamaye, Château Terriers des Cailloux sur Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux and Château Haut Mangaud des Côtes de Bourg. Since 2017, Wilfried Bourceau has been in charge of the vineyard. Domaine Bourceau is located north of Bordeaux in the villages of Berson and Saint Trojan and is currently undergoing organic conversion. Its geographical location allows it to benefit from a microclimate that protects it from spring frosts. The main grape varieties used are Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot.
