About the estate:
Dominique Raimond owns several châteaux in the Blayais and Bourgeais regions: Montfollet, one of the region’s leading estates, Haut Lalande, Graulet, Merigot, Haut Grela, and Puy d’Amour (13 ha of organic vineyards). He is a member of the high-quality Cars cooperative (founded in 1937), renamed “Châteaux solidaires” in 2011, which vinifies the harvests of about ten member châteaux—selected through a rigorous process—separately.
