This superb chateau, dating from the 15th century and situated in the center of L‚ognan, was acquired by Mrs Garcin-Cathiard in the early 1990's. Important renovation works and the construction of three new chais were carried out in order to rehabilitate the domain.The 29 hectares of the estate are not all in production. 21 hectares are vinified in red and 3 in white. The vineyard, exposed due south on a rich slope, benefits from a gravel soil with a clayey-siliceous subsoil, conditions that allow the wine to develop its "finesse" and bouquet.
