Description

Before settling in Montagne, Gonzague Maurice worked for various estates: in Sancerre,
in Château Maucamps (Haut-Medoc), Domaine Chevalier (Pessac-Léognan), Château
Poupille (Côtes de Castillon) and Domaine de l Île Margaux. In 2005 he decided to buy
an old winery and 3.2 hectares of vines. Once set up, he decided to expand the estate,
which currently covers 7.5 hectares in Montagne Saint Emillion, 2.5 hectares in
Puisseguin Saint Emillion and 3 hectares in Côtes de Castillon.

Bordeaux vintage 2017 : the harvest was considerably affected by record frost in late
April and heavy hailstorms that hit certain appellations in late August. Neverthe-
less, the vintage has turned out to be high in quality.
