History
Under ownership for the past 12 years, the Chateau has undergone significant investment, particularly in vineyard rejuvenation. Extensive replanting efforts have been undertaken to emulate the esteemed vines of the Medoc region in France. As a result, the estate now produces Vin de France wines of exceptional quality.

This historic estate is located in the heart of the Bordeaux wine region in southwestern France. Its origins date back centuries, steeped in the rich history of winemaking that characterises this renowned wine-producing area.

Over the centuries the Château passed through the hands of various noble families and landowners, each contributing to its development and reputation. Like many estates in Bordeaux, the Château underwent periods of expansion and renovation as winemaking techniques evolved and demand for Bordeaux wines grew.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Bordeaux wines, including those produced at the Château gained international acclaim, becoming highly sought after in markets across Europe and beyond.

In the modern era, the Château is recognised as a producer of high-quality Bordeaux wines, often embodying the distinct characteristics of the region’s terroir. The estate’s vineyards are carefully tended, with a focus on sustainable viticultural practices aimed at preserving the land for future generations.

Whether enjoyed in the cellars of the estate or savoured in distant lands, the wines of the Château are a testament to the enduring legacy of Bordeaux winemaking and the rich history of this storied estate.
