The property began as a farm in the 1400’s and began producing grapes for wine making in 1592. It was in the 17th century that the present Chateau was built on the foundations of this farm. Today this historical building is still intact and functioning as the headquarters of the winery. The property is composed of several cru vineyards, each with its own special terroir which defines the wine and is labeled as such. Each vineyard imparts its own identity to the wine and it is this distinction that makes the wines special.
