The various
buildings, the château itself, the wine-buildings, the outhouses,
flanked by the dovecote on the foundation, the sign of a noble
mansion, all lie on the terrace on which they were built, beside
the road at the foot of the slopes, opposite the plain.
The estate, which is 16 hectares in size all in one piece, is
almost entirely planted to vines. The subsoil, ferruginous in
many parts, gives the wine a powerful sève in their early
years but as they age they acquire all the organic finesse and
the characteristic bouquet of « Saint Emilion ».
This wine can be enjoyed now, or age in your cellar, and will
be perfect with red meat and cheese.
