Bernadette and Joseph ARBO have been developing the estate since 1998.Today it has a surface area of 51 hectares divided up into two appellations: Francs cotes de Bordeaux with 38 hectares devoted to the production of red wine and 3 hectares which are set aside for the production of white wine; Castillon cotes de Bordeaux , 10 hectares have been developed for the production of red wine. The capacity of the storehouse constructed in 1996 is now insufficient for their increased wine production. Another storehouse is under construction and will be ready for the grape harvest of 2011. This expansion will allow us to modernize all our equipment.
The soils in this Francs Cote de Bordeaux vineyard are composed of limestone and clay where the 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon are grown for this blend. Sustainable agricultural practices are used in the vineyard, with hand selection of grapes before the are brought into the press house. The grapes see maceration before fermentation for up 3 to 4 weeks in stainless tanks, and then see ageing in tanks for another. 18 months
