vineyards in pomerol. Old maps unearthed by the estate show that vines were
planted in 1785. From there, the vineyard became the property of the constant
family, before it passed to the arnaud family. The arnaud’s had good taste in
wine. At the same time, they were also owners of the famed bordeaux wine
property, petrus.

pomerol properties with a large percentage, (large for pomerol) of cabernet
sauvignon in their vineyards.
