owner and winemaker

Antonio Subra

In 1925, my great-grandfather Antonio Subra, of Spanish origin, bought the first plots of land and developed, with his children Antoine and Daniel, an agricultural activity.

Over the years, market gardening and livestock farming disappeared, to the benefit of the vineyard. The Château du Garde was born and, through 4 generations, has grown.

In 2009, It’s me, the great grandson Jean-Benoît Subra, took over the family business.

I specialize myself in viticulture and develop, at the domain, new techniques acquired through my travels and my experience.

It is said that a good winemaker is always dissatisfied, we are constantly looking for excellence and originality so my work continues year after year for your pleasure and also mine because a happy winemaker is a winemaker who makes you happy.

Château Rauzé-Lafargue

In 2014, the property acquired a new winery and a new brand: Château Rauzé Lafargue, whose first elixir 2015 has just left the winery.

The property now covers 31 hectares in the Bordeaux and Côtes de Bordeaux appellation area. This development was possible thanks to the family’s help.
