This centuries-old estate lies on the same gravely ridge as Haut-Bailly and La Louviere and has weathered such storms as legal squabbles with Ch. Haut-Brion (which they won) and the uprooting of their vineyards in 1935 (which they lost.) Purchased and revitalized by the Gervoson family (Bon Mamon jam) in 1987, their alluring wines now capture the classic style of their storied past.
