A family estate rooted since 1705 on the slopes of Saint-Émilion, where heritage blends with a permanent quest for elegance.
- Terroir : 22 hectares of limestone and clay-limestone soils, shaping wines of distinctive minerality and great precision.
- Vinification : A meticulous blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in oak barrels for a structure that is both supple and deep.
