In 1875, J. Petit-Laroche got married, and offered his wife in caDeau of marriage, the construction of a beautiful bourgeois mansion in front of his Médoc cellars: the present Château. The work was carried out by the Marian brothers, contractors in Moulis.
It is a strange and daring architectural mix that seems to marry several styles, like the Médoc wine that is made from a blend of several grape varieties.
The overabundance of decoration, which wants to evoke both the Renaissance, the mid and late seventeenth century, make this building an excellent example of the eclectic architecture that flourished in the Médoc at the end of the nineteenth century, before the crises that the vineyard may have experienced thereafter (Phylloxera, mildew, ...).
With its dazzling garnet-red color, this wine reveals a warm nose with an intense, complex bouquet. Chocolate and roasting notes appear at first, then, after aeration, it's possible to distinguish pretty black fruits as well as a floral hint. The palate is powerful, with a fine tannic structure. The wine is perfectly balanced between generosity and liveliness. Soft to the touch thanks to the satiny tannins, it will need a few more years to fully unfold.
