The winery is located on the outskirts of the town of Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). It is owned by the Borie-Manoux company (see the closely intertwined Borie and Castéja family history there). The vineyards cover 4.5 hectares and are planted with Merlot (55%), Cabernet Franc (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%). It was classified as a Grand Cru Classé in 2006. However, it lost this classification in 2012 because the grapes were used as a second wine for Château Trotte Vieille (also owned by Borie-Manoux).
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
