The estate is located in the heart of the right bank of Bordeaux, in the Lalande de Pomerol Appellation, very close by to the famous Pomerol and Saint Emilion appellations. The family now headed up by Michel Champsiex, have farmed the 21 hectares here for three generations, and the average age of the vines is now 35 years.
