Environment
The Saint-Emilion vignerons
are careful to preserve the land they farm.
They are mindful of those who live in these vine-growing landscapes,
who work or come to stay there.
They were the first to undertake
a collective commitment to the environment.
Great wines
Excellence is a requirement on a daily basis,
a state of mind.
Driven by sincerity and precision,
in the search for finesse and refinement,
and a commitment to the long-term.
The best

Joining the list of Grands Crus Classés,

aromas and tastes for the world to savour.

we are deeply aware of the outstanding heritage
that has been entrusted to us.

Evolving landscapes

our history and our traditions highlight
what we are.
We live our lives here,
shaped by the air we breathe,
the light that inspires us
and these lands that we farm.”
