Featured Chateaux
CHÂTEAU CLIMENS
Only five families have owned the estate from its origins. This is a rare occurrence
which explains why its surface area in a continuous single vineyard has
practically remained unchanged since the date of its creation.
CHÂTEAU DURFORT-VIVENS
Thomas Jefferson, the American ambassador in France and future president,
was a wine connoisseur and ranked it directly after Lafite, Latour and Margaux in his
fascinating travel diaries. The 1855 Classification confirmed his opinion, ranking the wine
as a Second Cru Classé (Second Classified Growth).
CHÂTEAU FERRIERE
The wine produced here was classified as one of fourteen Troisième Cru Classé (Third Classified
Growth) in the 1855 Classification. Chateau Ferrière was founded in the 18th century by
Gabriel Ferriere. He was a shipbroker and a King officer in charge of hunting. The vineyard
was progressively enlarged by his cousin Jean, the mayor of Bordeaux in 1792.
CHÂTEAU HAUT-BAGES LIBERAL
The LIBERAL family ran the property in the early eighteenth century. Wine brokers from father to
son, they sold the harvests to the Netherlands and Belgium. Over time, these connoisseurs gathered
the best soils in Pauillac. This Cinquième Cru Classé (Fifth Classified Growth) in the 1855
Classification, now has half of its vineyard adjacent to Château Latour and the other half behind
Château Pichon Baron, on the heights of the “Bages” area, a large plateau, South of Pauillac.
