Heritage in the vineyard

Domaine

It was in the 12th century that Pessac-Léognan welcomed the Fieuzal family. The Château was built and the vine gave rhythm to the life of the estate. The last heir of the Lovely Fieuzal family died in 1851. From then on, the estate was owned by many different families. It was the Ricard family who were fortunate enough to obtain for the Château the title of Grand Cru des Graves. Brenda and Locklann Quinn, a passionate Irish couple, have owned the estate since 2001.

Environmental practices

Their conversion to organic and biodynamic viticulture is under certification. Beehives, a vegetable garden and a henhouse have already been set up on the estate to strengthen this link with biodiversity.
