Château Cap de Faugères is based in Sainte-Colombe in Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux and is owned by Silvio Denz as the sister estate to Château Faugères in Saint-Émilion. The estate works with a gravity-flow vinification system, using cold soaking and temperature-controlled stainless-steel and wooden vats to limit oxidation and reduce energy use. Notes also mention eco-friendly packaging, although no formal sustainability certification is cited. Set on Castillon soils described as naturally austere, the estate’s approach combines modern cellar precision with attention to efficiency and site expression.
