The château building of this great historic Entre-Deux-Mers property, which our family bought in 1973, overlooks a vineyard that is planted on an expansive south-facing slope.
This very particular topology that brings with it clay-limestone soils is favourable for natural drainage and perfectly ripe grapes.
