The Château’s history goes back to the Middle Ages, but vines and wine have always been part of the estate. The estate first belonged to the monks of the region’s most important abbeys, before passing into the hands of the d’Esparbès de Lussan family, who were part of the political establishment of the nearby town of Blaye.

This soft and fruity wine may be young, but with its bright red fruits, it's ready to drink. Its juicy red berry flavors are filled with spice and a minty character from wood aging. It finishes with ripe fruitiness.
