The Estate and the Vineyard

Historic estate, bequeathed by a King of France in the 17th century and shaped by Baron Haussmann. In 2009, Laurent CISNEROS fell in love with this property and the family became the owner. They then combine their passion for the field and for jumping horses.

Located in the south of the Bordeaux conurbation, the 36-hectare estate has the advantage of being in one piece. It is implanted on a ground of tertiary gravels and its temperate climate, with smooth and regular hygrometry, is particularly favorable to the vines.
