The chateau went through ups and downs until the purchase in 2005 by the families Mau and Dirkzwager. The property is now managed by Jean-Christophe Mau. Advised by Stéphane Derenencourt, new winery and new parcels continue the growths’ progression. The vines have an average age of 25 years and grow on mounds of silica-gravel on clay subsoil. Average annual production is 80,000 bottles of red and 20,000 bottles of white.
