This beautifully situated château was taken over from the long-time owners, the Marin family, by the dynamic Romik Arconian and his viticulturist partner Marine Fontana. Romik is an Anglo-Armenian gentleman of immense personal charm who came to this privileged corner of Bordeaux from a successful career as a wine merchant in Paris. He has had the wisdom and good fortune to retain the services of Louis Marin as “chef de culture”, thus ensuring continuity of practice. More importantly, the wines continue to be made by Thierry Garnaud, who was the “maître de chai” at Ch. Cheval Blanc, no less, from 1988 – 2018. He and Marin are childhood friends, and he brings to the task (his since 1995!) an unmatched pedigree and class. The viticulture is conducted according to “la lutte raisonnée”, and the estate has been accorded the accolade of “Haute Valeur Environmentale” by the French Ministry of Agriculture.
