The estate is run by the dynamic Claire Villars-Lurton, who has steered the property toward an impressive ecological revival. The wine is certified organic and biodynamic. While the \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"351\"\u003eGrand Vin\u003c\/i\u003e is built for the long haul, \"La Chapelle\" is crafted from the estate's younger vines to offer an immediate insight into this prestigious terroir. The 2018 vintage was a \"solar\" year in Bordeaux but the estate’s specific location on limestone subsoils helped preserve the freshness that makes this wine so drinkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/b\u003e The vineyard enjoys a prime location next to Château Latour and Pichon Baron.
