The vineyard is located north of the town of Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). The origins of the estate date back to the 16th century, when winegrowing was already documented. At the beginning of the 20th century, it came into the possession of the Meneret family, who finally sold it to the insurance company "AG2R La Mondiale" in 1990. It is managed by P. Maniez and P. Dutoille. The estate is classified as a Grand Cru Classé, which was last confirmed in 2012. The vineyards cover 25 hectares of Merlot (60%), Cabernet Franc (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). The long-lasting red wine is aged for up to 18 months in two-thirds new barriques. The second wine is called "Le Cadet de Larmande".
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
