History and Terroir

Situated in the commune of Martillac, this property was originally part of the estate belonging to Baron de Montesquieu.

In 1765, Belleyme, the royal geographer, published a map on which the site “Vigneau de haut” appears clearly planted with vines; today, this property belongs to Eric Perrin. Beginning in the 1980s, he began the long-term work of clearing the land and replanting a vineyard from scratch.

With its remarkable situation, its choice terroir, and careful work in both vineyard and vat room, Château Haut-Vigneau will soon be playing in the big leagues..
