Winery Overview
Château George 7 is a new boutique vineyard in the appellation of Fronsac on the right bank of Bordeaux, which is already producing multi award-winning 100% Merlot wines and gaining excellent recognition from wine critics.
Established in 2017, following the purchase of 3 hectares of vines from a neighbouring property, the name was chosen to reflect its mission: to blend the heritage and tradition of Bordeaux winemaking with forward looking approaches and techniques. In addition to using traditional French oak barrels, Château George 7 also has amphorae – both ceramic and terracotta – which are being used to experiment with new styles and small quantity cuvées.
The vineyard is committed to sustainability and has shifted from traditional farming to a holistic sustainable approach and has HVE 3 certification (the highest level of High Environmental Value).
Chateau George 7 produces AOC Fronsac red wines that capture the essence of Fronsac today: fruit-forward, fresh with a touch of minerality from the underlying limestone along with silky tannins and a lingering elegance and finesse. In 2021 they produced their first white wine that is fresh with ripe stone fruits and candied citrus fruit along with a beautiful mouthfeel from new barrel fermentation.
Sally Evans, the owner, lives full-time at the estate and has lived and worked in France for 28 years. She made the bold move to create Château George 7 as a project to follow her passion for wine. Sally meets every visitor to the vineyard. As an accredited Bordeaux Wine School tutor, she can offer visitors an overview of the region, as well as in intimate insight into life on a small vineyard and the challenges behind running a Bordeaux wine chateau.
Visitors are warmly welcomed at Château George 7 to walk in the vines, experience the tasting room and wine school with a vineyard tour, a lunch platter or a workshop and of course, to relax, taste and enjoy the wines.
