About the estate:
A sure bet in the appellation, this estate located at the foot of the Saint-Laurent valleys became part of the Mestreguilhem family in 1929. The 7 hectares at the time have now grown to 26. The property has been run since 1983 by Richard Mestreguilhem, joined in 2014 by his son Jean, an agricultural engineer, who is now in charge of technical management.
