About Château Timberlay

Château Timberlay is the result of precise and meticulous work from the winegrowing to the winemaking.

Château Timberlay, one of the oldest Châteaus in Bordeaux, produces Estate grown Bordeaux wines with an ecological and terroir driven philosophy. The vineyard sits directly at the 45th parallel, making it perfectly centered between the equator and North Pole creating the ideal terroir, while the soil combination of clay, limestone, and sand lend the grapes elegance and structure. The entire vineyard is farmed under the guidelines of Terra Vitis, a French organization that independently certifies compliance with sustainable vineyard practices. Their sense of dedication is carried throughout the entire winemaking process, from hand-harvesting and sorting the grapes to eliminate flawed bunches, to careful barrel and aging regimens. None of which go unnoticed when enjoying this high-quality wine and traditional Bordeaux character. First awarded for quality in 1893, Château Timberlay brings authenticity and tradition to its wines, but also crafts its Bordeaux to be approachable and accessible for every occasion.
