The story
Run by the de Bortoli-Déjean family, the estate is described by sources as a small family domaine that has grown to produce several cuvées distributed across multiple appellations. Over the years the property has stood out for its use of and efforts to preserve Petit Verdot and for micro-cuvées based on Merlot in certain parcels.
Production philosophy
Artisanal approach: intensive vineyard care, hand harvesting, field selection and traditional winemaking with aging in French oak barriques for some cuvées; emphasis on indigenous grape varieties such as Petit Verdot.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Macau in the Bordeaux region, about 6 km from Margaux, the property extends over several discrete parcels that allow production in four appellations: Bordeaux, Bordeaux Supérieur, Haut-Médoc and Margaux. The soils include the palus médocains near the Garonne, considered ideal for Petit Verdot according to specialist sources.
