Jean-Pierre Lalouelle
This beautiful 6 hectares family estate planted in 1879 is situated on the slopes of
Côte d’Epernay and comprises 70% of Pinot Meunier and 30% of Chardonnay.
The Pinot Meunier varietal brings a fruity style to a champagne blend and gives it
charm and easy-to-drink qualities.
The addition of Chardonnay gives it finesse, elegance, as well as aging capacity.
Jean-Pierre Lalouelle has been taking over the family estate since 1979 and pays
special attention to preserving the natural fruity style of his elegant champagne.
He usually blends two vintages to produce his champagne. This one is a blend of
2002 and 2003.

Château Milon
Once property of Gustave Eiffel family, Château Milon is a 26 acres estate located half way
between Bordeaux and Saint Emilion, now belonging to Gérald de la Debutrie, a former engineer,
who took over the management from his parents in 2003, with a clear will to producing an
excellent and authentic natural wine.
If you look at the vine ranks you’ll notice wide white patches on the ground which are gravely and
chalky reappearances. Merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc , malbec and carménère
compose red vine varieties; Semillon, muscadelle and a few plants of sauvignon compose the
white ones.
- Organic way of working
- Temperature controlled wine-making

Wines have been produced in Saint-Emilion since the Romans.
Château Branda was founded in the 18th century as part of the Faize Abbaye. The present
owners, Arnaud Delaire and Nicolas Baptiste, bought the estate in 1998 and since that date
have always been growing the best wines of the appellations (Puisseguin and Lussac Saint
Emilion).
In 2001, their passion pushed them to invest in the prestigious neighbourhood : Château Pas
de l’Ane and Château Haut Saint Brice, two Saint Emilion Grand Cru, were born to offer the
ultimate pleasure of the right bank area

Château Périn de Naudine
The Graves region is the oldest wine region in Bordeaux, named after his terroir a soil rich in gravels
and pebbles allowing a reflection of suns rays and constituting a good filter: this is an efficient heat
retainer and it favours the ripening of the grapes. The Château Perin de Naudine is in fact a beautiful
"chartreuse" (mansion) from the 17th century traditionally built in one level slightly over the soil with a
half buried cellar underneath.
This 12 hectares estate benefits from the diversity of clay-limestone soil in Castres Gironde and the
gravel soil of Portets.. The vines are aged 28 years in average.
Olivier Colas practices a traditional work of the soil, control of the yield, and hand harvesting.
He built in 1996 a new 1100 hl new temperature-controlled vathouse, with air-pressured wine press
and a sorting table.

Six centuries of winemaking tradition have been preserved and adapted to modern
techniques (hese noble vines have been planted since 1473)
The cellars of Montlau were built in the XVIIIth century; the old pumps and presses are
still used and are living witness to a period that made Bordeaux renowned for its great
wines and terroirs.

Dominique Leymarie
Dominique Leymarie, whose family has been in the wine business for over a century not only in Bordeaux but
also in Burgundy, produces under Michel Rolland’s team supervision wines that are recognized as respectful for
their terroirs, combining decades of family tradition to the most modern winemaking techniques for a result
dedicated to the creation of compromiseless quality products.
Chateau Robert is the first estate run by Dominique Leymarie (since 1982), i.e. almost 25 years to set up – often
as a precursor - the vinegrowing techniques that raise the quality requirements for the harvested grapes and
made the reputation of our estates: short pruning, strict disbudding, two wave green harvest (June and August),
hand picking in racks with a double selection of the berries. Chateau Robert's vineyard is fully ploughed and
thus, no chemical herbicide is used.

Philippe Giraud
Originated from the Corbin Estate, which used to belong to a son of King Edward
III of England, Château Grand Corbin is situated at the crossroads between the
highly reputed vineyards of Pomerol and Saint-Emilion.
Mainly planted with Merlot (2/3) and Cabernet Franc (1/3) on silica soils, Château
Grand Corbin produces wines rich in fruit and in colour.
Philippe Giraud, originated from the North of France, has been in charge of the
estate since 1982.
