Founded in 1878, this family property has been managed by Paul and Lorette Valade for over thirty years. Originally located in the Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, the vineyards expanded into Saint Emilion in 2007. On this property, every effort is made to ensure that the wines produced are of impeccable quality. Traditional expertise, handed down from generation to generation, combined with long hours of hard work in the vineyards and a meticulous approach to each task, enables the Château to produce outstanding wines.
