The vineyard is located north of Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). The Bon family has been known here since the 13th century. In the 14th century, Jacques Bon, known as Le Cadet (the Younger), planted a vineyard called "La Butte du Cadet" (The Hill of the Cadet) on the northern slope of Saint Émilion. It was called Château Cadet-Pinaud-Bon for a while after a later owner. It has been owned by the Sociéte Loriene since 1986. After being downgraded in 2006, it was reclassified as a Grand Cru Classé in 2012. The vineyards cover seven hectares of vines with the Merlot (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) varieties. The second wine is called Chateau "Vieux Moulin du Cadet".
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
