The vineyard is situated in the commune of Léognan, in the Pessac-Léognan appellation in Graves (Bordeaux). The estate’s origins date back to the Middle Ages. It acquired its current name following the marriage of Pierre Pernel to a daughter of the Olivier family. After changing hands several times, the estate was acquired by the Bethmann family in 1886. For over 70 years, it was managed on behalf of the owners by the Eschenauer trading house, before the family took over the management themselves again in 1981. Today, it is run by Jean-Jacques de Bethmann.

Bordeaux Classification

When the Graves wines were classified in 1959, both the estate’s red and white wines were classified as Cru Classé de Graves.
