The winery is located in the municipality of Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse in the Saint-Émilion region (Bordeaux). Its origins date back to 1737, when the then owner planted the red Auxerrois variety, which was then increasingly called Pressac. Auxerrois and Pressac or Noir de Pressac are synonyms for Cot (also Malbec). The name of the vineyard is therefore derived from Pressac. This was the dominant variety at the time. The estate was bought by Jean François Quenin in 1997 and completely renovated. In 2012, the estate was classified as a Grand Cru Classé for the first time. The vineyards cover 42 hectares of vines with the varieties Merlot (72%), Cabernet Franc (14%), Cabernet Sauvignon (12%), Carmenère (1%) and Cot (Malbec, Pressac). The long-lasting red wine is matured for 12 months in barriques, two thirds of which are new. The second wine is called "Tour de Pressac"; there is also a third wine.
