The vineyard is located north-west of Saint-Émilion(Bordeaux) in the area of the same name. The estate also includes a large quarry. The estate was taken over by the AXA insurance group in 1987, bought by a Belgian group in 1996 and finally by Griet & Hervé Laviale in 2005. It is classified as a Grand Cru Classé, which was last confirmed in 2012. The vineyards cover seven hectares of vines, planted with Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The long-lasting red wine matures in 100% new barriques. The second wine is called "Les Cèdres de Franc Mayne".

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
