Historically, the name of the Château is that of a great Scottish family
which lived in France from the Middle Ages and in Pomerol from the end of
the 16th century. According to local archives, the estate was the first to
be authorised by the King to grow vines in Pomerol. At the time of the
French Revolution, the estate was then broken up, before finally being taken
over by the Barreau-Badar family in 1925. The Château is located in the
south-eastern part of the famous Pomerol plateau. The 5 hectares of ancient
vines are planted on this exceptional clay-silica terroir. Today, it is
Odette Barreau who runs the estate with the support of her son, Jean-Luc.
For sheer pleasure, the wine is extremely charming, powerful, fleshy, robust
and supple, all at the same time. It has a "monumental" structure and is
very elegant and rich in aromas, with that characteristic fresh-truffle
note.
