About the estate:

One of the largest estates in the appellation, covering 24 hectares surrounding a shaded park and an 18th-century château in the Figeac area, between Libourne and Saint-Émilion. A cru first mentioned in 1886 and classified since 1955. Industrialist Alain Château, its fifth owner, arrived in 2005 and renovated the entire estate, including the vineyard and buildings, enlisting the services of Denis Dubourdieu.
