The Château itself wasn't built until around 1500, and it was bought by the Baudet family in 1894. Since then, five generations of the family have put their heart and soul into tending the 18 hectares of vines at this Château in the Côtes de Blaye, a region which borders Bourg at the northernmost part of Bordeaux's right bank.

The Vineyards are situated on one of the best sites on the limestone escarpment of the Blaye - the hill above the village of Plassac. Clay/limestone soils give excellent drainage to vines and allow them to fully develop. The slopes face south-west and this ensures optimal ripening conditions for the grapes.

The first vineyard in Blaye to be independently audited and certified under the TERRA VITIS regime for sustainable viticulture. No chemicals - organic fertilisers only, treatments based on observation, encouragement of biodiversity and inter-row vegetation. Bud pruning, green harvesting and de-leafing for optimal fruit/leaf canopy balance where appropriate. Harvesting at optimal ripeness.
