ABOUT THE CHÂTEAU

Created by Henri Martin, this estate is unique in having been built up piece by piece over several years through the purchase of parcels, the majority of which were classified as “grands crus” in 1855. The origin of the terroirs and the painstaking growing and vinification techniques are the reasons why its quality is recognised worldwide.

Soils: Sand and gravel with a little clay

Farming: Harvest by hand

Vines: On average 30 years of age
