The Château
The Château takes its name from its geographical location on the hill of Cos and from the name of François Labory, owner until 1845. Monsieur d'Estournel will then acquire it before reselling it to an English banker, Charles Martyns in 1852. It was finally George Weber who bought the property in the 1930s, before bequeathing it to his daughter and son-in-law, François AUDOY in 1959.
In 1971, the couple also acquired the neighboring vineyard, Château Andron Blanquet. Their sons will work alongside them for a few years on the two estates before Bernard, the eldest, takes the reins of the estates. A man of the field with calm and reassuring strength, he has always lived in Saint-Estèphe and perfectly embodies his wine and the appellation he has chaired since 2000.Current owner: Audoy Family
