The Massart family acquired the multi-centennial estate, which was undoubtedly once the Feudal Castle's farmland, in 1973. Here, upon the clayey-siliceous and clayey-gravely soils of the Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur appellations, following stringent production standards focused on quality, Stefaan and Hilde Massart passionately work for the vineyard, the wine and local heritage. Upon the 15 hectares (37 acres) of vineyards, including some very old plots, the choice of pruning and training the vines has resulted in dense plantations that produce sustainable yields. These basic choices, along with the pursuit of optimal maturity, produce what is the most important : quality grapes. Plot selection, grape varieties and their colours, once the musts and wines have been carefully transformed and bred, finally define our product range.
