| The Château: |
|
For 800 years and 28 generations, the Count's family has earned a reputation for making great wines. Its private estate or "Domaine Privé" is situated between Bordeaux and Cognac with a unique terroir rich with minerals - ideal for cultivating world-class wines. The estate's ancestral savoir-faire combined with carefully considered traditional production methods gives the wine a distinct and bold character. The grapes were harvested by hand -- only 540 cases produced.
