The winery is located in the commune of Lalande de Pomerol in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). It had been owned by the Milhade family since 1938 before it was taken over in 2005 by the Hessel family, who also own Château Moulin-à-Vent in the Haut-Médoc. The vineyards cover 22 hectares of gravel and sandy soils and are planted with Merlot (70%), Cabernet Franc (18%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (12%). Half of the long-lasting red wine is matured in new barriques. The second wine is called "Château des Biscarats".
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
