The winery is located 1.5 kilometres south-east of the town of Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name in the French wine region of Bordeaux. It was acquired in 1997 by the former owner of a large supermarket chain, Gérard Perse, who also owns Château Pavie (see the history there). The vineyards cover 2.5 hectares and are 100% planted with Merlot. The long-lasting red wine matures for up to 24 months in two-year-old barriques at Château Pavie. The grapes have been used to make Château Pavie wine since the 2002 vintage. Before it was dissolved as a separate wine estate, it was classified as a Grand Cru Classé.
I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
