Hervé and Suzanne Flipo, the seller, purchased the chateau residence in 1998 and then acquired the vines in 2003. They managed to assemble parcels of some of the finest terroir in the former Premieres cotes de Bordeaux slopes near Capian before building a new chai in 2005. The well drained southerly slopes of gravel terroir are remarkable in that they have consistent harvests each year, even during a challenging vintage such as 2017.

The new owner has purchased the 8.15 ha estate with its 4.45 hectares of vines, Girondine “Maison de Maître” and gardens which include swimming pool, tennis court and large specimen trees. Mr Callewier said “we are so impressed by the care and attention to detail not only in the vines and chai but equally the house and its gardens. The results are clearly evident in the very high quality of the wines produced”.
