Château Laville-Haut-Brion

The vineyard is located in the commune of Talence in the Pessac-Léognan area of Graves(Bordeaux). It is classified as a Cru Classé des Graves for white wine. The estate was acquired by Marie de Laville in 1611. After several changes of ownership, it came into the possession of Frédéric-Otto Woltner in 1931. He was the owner of the neighbouring Château La Mission Haut-Brion and Château La Tour-Haut-Brion. All three estates were then acquired in 1983 by the Dillon family, who also own Château Haut-Brion and manage their empire under the name Domaine Clarence Dillon. The vineyards of Château Laville-Haut-Brion cover four hectares of vines. They are planted with the varieties Sémillon (70%), Sauvignon Blanc (27%) and Muscadelle (3%). The extremely long-lived wine matures for 15 months in 100% new barriques. The wine has only been bottled under the name Château Laville-Haut-Brion Blanc since the 2009 vintage.
