The company offers top-quality AOC Bordeaux, Saint-\u00c9milion, Pomerol and Fronsac wines from vintage to vintage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Horeau-Beylot, a family history since 1740<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Horeau-Beylot trading house is one of the 3 oldest in Bordeaux. Located along the Dordogne River on the Quai du Priourat in Libourne, it played an important role in the economic and political life of the town and the Libourne region. Over the decades, the premises have been modernized and now boast 6,000 m\u00b2 of storage space, a bottling line and 12,000 hectolitres of vat capacity. The company exports and distributes its proprietary brands worldwide, as well as grands crus class\u00e9s from partner ch\u00e2teaux and bulk wines from selected “petits ch\u00e2teaux”.<\/p>\n

The company was founded in 1720 by the Pradel de Lavaux family, who have been running it for 10 generations. Today, the company is run by Axel Pradel de Lavaux, holder of an MBA in Luxury Product Communication, and In\u00e8s Boissarie, both successors and principal shareholders. Since 2007, they have entrusted the position of Managing Director to Stanilas Boissarie, who has breathed new life into the family business. They combine their experience in viticulture, as owners of ch\u00e2teaux and creators of wine brands, and in the wine trade, as historical distributors of partner ch\u00e2teaux’ crus. They have been able to adapt and highlight the terroirs of each estate to conquer foreign markets, and now generate 90% of their sales from exports.<\/p>\n

Historical merchant and distributor of Grands Crus and partner ch\u00e2teaux<\/h2>\n

The trading house offers authentic, traditional wines of the highest quality, highlighting the particularities of each plot and terroir. It is renowned for its consistency and seriousness in following the wine brands it distributes in France and around the world, from the grands crus class\u00e9s of partner ch\u00e2teaux to the small estates of the Bordeaux region.<\/p>\n

The Horeau-Beylot family also owns the following brands: Le Petit Beylot (Bergerac), Les Clefs de Saint-Pardon (Bordeaux), Lady Laure (Bordeaux Sup\u00e9rieur), Marquis de Beylot (Saint-\u00c9milion) and La Croix Beylot (Pomerol).<\/p>\n

They produce two Saint-\u00c9milion Grands Crus:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Ch\u00e2teau Bellevue, a benchmark for the appellation, is produced on one of the finest terroirs in the AOC, alongside some of the most renowned estates. The plot ranges from the plateau (at 75 m altitude) of marine limestone, rich in magnesium, iron and clay, to the sandier, more acidic bottom of the hill. This diversity of soils is what makes the wines produced by Ch\u00e2teau Bellevue so complex.
\nCh\u00e2teau Bellevue, which dominates the hill and plateau, has been in the Pradel de Lavaux family since 1938. In the 17th century, the “fief de Bellevue” belonged to the Lacaze family, who sold it to the Pradel de Lavaux and Conink families, while Maurice de Bo\u00fcard de Laforest, the owner of neighboring Ch\u00e2teau Ang\u00e9lus, wanted to acquire it. In 2007, his descendants the Bo\u00fcard de Laforest finally became co-owners and managers of Ch\u00e2teau de Bellevue.<\/p>\n

– Ch\u00e2teau Martinet is a beautiful 18th-century residence surrounded by a vast park. It was used as a hunting lodge before becoming a winery. As with the previous Grand Cru, this is one of the finest Saint-\u00c9milions in the region, thanks to parcel-by-parcel management and traditional, manual methods, whether for table sorting, harvesting or ageing in oak barrels for 16 to 18 months. These two Saint-\u00c9milion grands crus have power and tannic structure with a lovely roundness. Elegant, assertive wines with round, silky tannins.<\/p>\n
