The German Stephan von Neipperg has given his all to resurrect the reputation of this chateau that had an excellent reputation in the years after World War II. In the vineyard the work has become more rigorous, the yields have significantly diminished and the vinification has taken a modern path giving the wines a remarkable concentration.
