Wines

Château Lyonnat
Wine has been produced at Château Lyonnat for centuries, and this property has an absolutely exceptional vineyard of 79 acres, planted on limestone, south facing, and with plots of very old vines. The wines always have a true sense of elegance and refinement.

Château Tour d’Auron
Château Tour d'Auron is a small production estate that produces wines with remarkable structure and aging potential. The difference in site from its neighbors owned by Gerard Milhade and his family is striking, as this wine exhibits a much darker fruit and earthy character.

Château Damase
Chateau Damase is a completely charming wine, planted primarily to Merlot with some of "Bordeaux's Lost Grape" - Carmenere. The vibrant Merlot along with the lovely spicy touches make Damase somewhat of the classic fresh, Bordeaux bistro red.
Reviews
Château Lyonnat 2015 (93 JS)
James Suckling (92-93) - "Full body, with chocolate, walnut and spice character. Round and lightly chewy tannins. Fresh finish.”
