The estate is located in the north-eastern part of the plateau of the commune of Saint-Émilion(Bordeaux) in the area of the same name. The estate, which has been owned by the Asséo family since 1982, was sold to the former porcelain manufacturer Dominique Decoster in 2001. It is classified as a Grand Cru Classé, which was last confirmed in 2012. The vineyards cover 18 hectares and are planted with Merlot (70%), Cabernet Franc (15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%). The long-lasting red wine matures for 16 to 20 months in new barriques. The second wine is called "Château Bois Cardinal".
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.
