Château Bottled
Beginner Wine Business & TradeDefinition
Wine bottled at the property where grapes were grown and vinified.
In Depth
The French term 'Mis en bouteille au château' guarantees complete estate control from vine to bottle. This contrasts with wine sold in bulk to négociants or cooperatives for bottling elsewhere. Estate-bottled wine generally commands higher prices and greater consumer confidence, though the quality of non-estate wine can be excellent.
