Château Haut-Bages Libéral
Adjacent to the vineyards of Château Latour and Château Pichon Baron in Pauillac, the Libéral family—wine merchants from father to son—had managed the Haut Bages Libéralestate sincethe early 18th century. They successfully brought together the finest terroirs, enabling Château Haut Bages Libéral to be included in the famous 1855 classification and attain the status of Fifth Growth. 
In 1960, the Cruse family, the new owners who were already at the helm of another Fifth Growth, Pontet-Canet, revitalized the Haut Bages Libéral vineyard with an extensive vine replanting program. In 1982, the Villars-Merlaut family reaped the full benefits of this hard work.
Since 2000, Claire Villars-Lurton has taken over from her parents and oversees the development of Haut Bages Libéral, as well as the Châteaux Ferrière and La Gurgue.

The Haut Bages Libéral vineyard spans 30 hectares of vines, comprising 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, planted on two types of soil: deep gravel and clay-limestone, as well as chalky limestone.
