Located just outside the village of Cardan, this small family run estate stands proudly overlooking the Cotes de Bordeaux region.
Ms. Chantal Benito-Larnaudie has been at the helm since 2005, producing reds, dry whites and sweet whites united by a shared sense of finesse.
The vines are planted on clay-limestone slopes, with some prominent patches of deep gravels and heavy stones.
