Description
Magnificent vineyard estate with one of the finest terroirs of the Côtes de Duras. The estate comprises approx. 34 hectares of mostly mature vines, is HVE certified, has 3 attractive separate stone residences, a fully equipped winery with state-of-the-art technology, a wooden barrel store, a commercial shop and tasting room and operational farm equipment necessary for an autonomous vineyard through each season.
The vineyard lies on a 42 hectares site of predominantly south-facing slopes with areas of neighbouring woodland. The terroir is exceptional with a very well-maintained agriculture.
The vines, which are between 12 and 38 years old, are the classic grapes of the area: 11 hectares of Sauvignon-Blanc, 1 hectare of Semillon, 12.5 hectares of Merlot, 5 hectares of Cabernet-Sauvignon, 4.3 hectares of Cabernet-Franc. In May 2024, 0.75 hectares of Chenin Blanc and 0.75 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc were planted.
The vines have been planted at a density of 3,300 per hectare conforming to AOC requirements. The planting and training of the vines has been planned to maximise machine picking and all forms of mechanical labour. Each year the vines produce an average of around 40 HL per hectare of fruit or around 165,000 bottles of red, white and rose wine. The wines are highly acclaimed for their attractive aromas: approachable, elegant and smooth. There are 6 full-time employees.

There are 6 bedrooms, a dining room, a sitting room, an entrance hall, a fully equipped modern kitchen and a TV room.
