Located in the heart of Chile, the Maule region is one of the country’s most diverse and historic wine areas, with vineyards dating back to the 18th century. Set at 35° south, it enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters that clearly define the growing season. The region’s soils, shaped by ancient coastal mountain geology, are predominantly granite-based with clay and iron influences, forming deep, well-structured profiles that support healthy vine development and expressive wines.

The name Los Padrinos (“The Godfathers”) reflects Vinos Baettig’s role as the new custodians of the historic El Coronel de Maule vineyard in D.O. Cauquenes, acquired in 2022. That same year marked the inaugural vintage of Selección de Parcelas Los Padrinos, crafted from selected Cabernet Sauvignon parcels, complemented by fruit from carefully chosen old-vine growers in the surrounding area.

A striking expression of old-vine Cab, seamlessly balancing structure, depth, and vibrant energy. The nose opens with ripe black plum and cassis, unfolding into layers of smoked herbs, savoury spice, and a delicate hint of sweet balsam. Full-bodied on the palate, finely grained tannins provide impressive tension, while supportive acidity lifts the ripe fruit and carries it through a long, precise finish.

Château Plaisance, an 18th-century country manor once owned by the renowned Bordeaux restaurateur Dubern, is set on a steep, sun-drenched hill in the heart of Bordeaux. Its 23-hectare vineyard, planted with 80% Merlot on clay soils and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon on sandy gravel, benefits from exceptional sunshine and warm temperatures, ensuring full grape ripening. Under the stewardship of Philippe Magrez, a fourth-generation winegrower, modern winemaking techniques are seamlessly combined with the finest Bordeaux traditions. The estate’s carefully crafted wines capture the character of the terroir, reflecting a deep respect for heritage and a passion for excellence in every bottle.

Opening with a red cherry–scented nose, leading into a lively, refreshing palate that remains light and fresh despite the ripeness of the fruit. Delicate notes of raspberry and black currant glide across the tongue, while subtle, mellow woody tannins lend gentle structure and a pleasing roundness to the texture, creating a balanced and approachable finish.
