Château Le Prieuré

Producer description of "Château Le Prieuré"

The winery is located in Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). The estate is classified as a Grand Cru Classé, which was last confirmed in 2012. It was owned by the Franciscan order of monks (Prieuré = priory, monastery). In 1897, it was bought by Joseph Brisson, the mayor of the municipality of Néac. The land originated from a carving up of Cru des Cordeliers. Since 2004, the estate has been run by daughter Aline Guichard and husband Paul Goldschmidt. The well-known oenologist Stéphane Derenoncourt worked as a consultant for some time. Finally, in 2014, Artemis Domaines (François Pinault) took over the majority shares (they also own Château Latour). The estate also includes Château Vray Croix de Gay in the Pomerol area and Château Siaurac in the Lalande de Pomerol area.
