This property gained its name in 1994 when it was purchased by a French ex-international footballer. It was sold again in 2009 to the daughter of supermarket chain Leclerc's wine buyer and her husband, who happened to be nephew of the erstwhile owners of Château Lafleur and Le Gay in Pomerol. The 7.5 hectares are planted to 90% Merlot, the rest Cabernet Franc on clay and sand soils.

"There is a depth that is lacking in the other St Emilions and a little dryness towards the end. In a good way! Dry and neat and savoury, well kept in check for the long term! Serious stuff." Jancis Robinson
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
