It is in the «Correspondence» of the famous Latin poet Ausone that we find
traces of the first Bordeaux wine-growing establishments and in particular
on the edge of the Gironde on the limestone plateau which currently
overlooks this estuary formed by the Dordogne and the Garonne. This
is where the Château Carpena is located, a vineyard reconstituted in the
1980s by Mr. Claude Carreau who also owns the famous Château Eyquem,
a neighboring wine estate also located on the same clay-lime plateau in
the town of Bayon.

Château Frachet is located in Cénac on one of the most beautiful gravelly terraces overlooking the Garonne. The origins of the property date back to the 18th century. Named until recently «Ricmont», it is now operated under the name of the harvesting owners.

Located in the heart of the Côtes de Bourg appellation, the property is made from one piece. Made from carefully selected plots, this cuvée is the subject of special aging; the vanilla notes are fine and elegant.

Bernard Manera bought the domain in 1975. Within 25 years, with the support of his wife, Martine, he renovates more than 70 hectares of vines, extended on 4 communes, with different soils, which gives the wine a complexity. In 2002; his daughter takes care of the bottles sales ; his son takes care of the
production of the domain. The same year, Bernard Manera enrole the domain into a new vine culture policy : reasonned agriculture, controled by Qualtié France.

The estate of Château Le Bourdillot has belonged to the Haverlan family

Olivier Cheminade is the fourth generation of winegrowers. Helped by his
brother Patrick, he divides his time between the cellar and the meetings to
discover the latest vintages. Trained in wine-making, he carefully observes
the winemaking methods and chooses those that he thinks are suitable to
bring out the identity of his terroir. Attached to the ancestral land of Saint
Emilion, it provides the necessary care to offer you quality wines.

In 1880, Mr Vérité, trader in Angers, came to look for wine in Bordeaux.
The meeting with a winemaker and the passion for wine made him change
region and profession. It is from this beautiful story of love that the
Château Tour Vérité was born. It was in 2012 that Jacques Vérité entrusted
the management of the vineyard to his friends, the Cardarelli family.

Family estate created at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the vineyard is managed by the fourth generation of winegrowers (Tarendeau) in the town of Lalande de Pomerol.

Vineyard of the Miailhe family since 1972, the wine of Château VERDIGNAN
is a great classic of the Médoc. Known for being one of the oldest wine
estates in the canton of Pauillac, and certainly the oldest in Saint Seurin
de Cadourne, Verdignan is first noticed by the beautiful architecture of its
Château.

Chateau de Respide is one of the oldest wine châteaux in the Graves region.
Louis XIII style, it was the estate of Monsieur de La Reynie, lieutenant of
King Louis XIV. The Rodies family owned it until 1932 and won the gold
medal at the Paris Agricultural Competition in 1899. It was in 1952 that the
current owner, M Bonnet, inherited it. The castle will be sold in 1973 but
the vineyard, the cellars, and the farm buildings will be preserved in order
to allow the wine to preserve its authenticity.

Château Prieuré Saint Georges is the second wine of Château POYANNE
which is a part of the Vignobles Albert Schweitzer production. It is a very old
wine from the commune of Gauriac. Bought in 1962, this estate has been
completely replanted, because the owners are committed to perpetuating
the tradition of quality that has earned the reputation of this Cru.

Winegrowers in Berson since 1800, the Noël family
cultivates their vines with passion. Château Noël
les Charmes is located three kilometers from Blaye,
«Citadel of Bordeaux» and the Gironde estuary.

Located in Lansac, the Château Mayne de Bernard vineyard
has been a family estate for several generations, located in the
heart of the Côtes de Bourg; its 37 hectares extend over the
municipalities of Tauriac, Bourg and Lansac. The different grape
varieties (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Cabernet
Franc) are planted on clay-limestone slopes.

Les Vignobles Landié, family estate for 30 years, is a 60 ha estate. Mr. Jean-François
Landié the owner, coming from Lot et Garonne, began his very young career as a
simple winegrower. The vine and the wine being his two passions, he worked hard
to acquire the current vineyard. First in 1970, he bought his first 30 ha property
in Cantois in the township of Targon. He started to make his own wine to sell it
in bulk. In the 80s and 90s, thanks to a quality product, he acquired a new estate
to reach 45 ha. In 1996, Mr. Landié built a modern stainless steel cellar equipped
with refrigeration in the town of St Martin du Puy. From 1998, despite a period of
bulk wine sales, he changed his policy and began to sell wine in bottles. In 2002,
he obtained a bottling line and sold all his production in bottles. In 2004, with
the arrival of his two sons: one is a titular oenologist at the Faculty of Oenology
of Bordeaux, a SCEA was created with at the same time the purchase of a 15 ha
estate in Soussac.

The estate is located in the heart of the village of Bégadan not far from
the Estuary (about 2.5km) and takes advantage of its microclimate to be
protected against certain climatic hazards, such as frost.

Château AILLAN occupies a privileged location on the large plateau of
the commune of Saint-Estèphe with limestone and stony soil and stony
subsoil. This 11 hectares vineyard, wonderfully exposed and planted with
noble grape varieties, receives the most attentive care and benefits from
sophisticated cultivation methods.
By the nature of its stony soil, its excellent grape varieties, the meticulous
care given to the vines, to the vinification, the château produces
distinguished wines with a bouquet, but also with tannins which blend
together in great harmony.

Château Le Virou boats one hundred hectars of vines. It has taken centuries for this domain to develop, flourish, and become the property we now know today. In the 17th Century, prior to becoming a winery, the property was one of two gathering locations for the monks hailing from the Catholic order named « L’Ordre des Carmes Déchaussées». Devout men from all over France would arrive to this landmark destined for silence and meditation. At that time, it was called «Le Désert du Virou». For the next two centuries, the monks built a monastery, whose renovated remains still stand today, and constructed vast underground labyrinths connecting the property to multiple strategic points in the region. After the French Revolution however, when the property was sold, the tunnels were either condemned or destroyed. Today only the Chapel and three underground chambers remain from that era. The monastery was also almost completely destroyed, but through the efforts of the new owners the Delbos family, it was partially renovated between 1781 and 1919. In 2013, the property is sold to Pierre Jean Larraqué, who places great importance in the history and the stories behind his properties. In his eyes, these world heritage sites are to be cherished and shared with the rest of the world, while always keeping intact the integrity and image of the landmarks. History is to be valued and not forgotten which leads Pierre-Jean Larraqué to begin intense renovations to the property in 2015 and continue to this day.
