It was in the 1970s that Jean-Claude Berrouet, a legendary winemaker whose destiny was closely linked to the great terroirs of Pomerol and St-Emilion, found 4 hectares of land near the church of St-Georges. He makes his wine with the same philosophy that has made his reputation. For several years now, Jeff, his youngest son, has been running the estate. In 2020, the Château's wine is a paragon of finesse, with notes of violet and pepper. The tannins are very fine, smooth and succulent.
