The senses are calmed, purified, and subtly prepared for discovering the Garden of Euphoria.

Boasting some outstanding trees such as bald cypresses and a Magnolia Grandiflora that is several hundred years old, the park oozes with character with its woodland, its heather-land, its stream (L’Estonnat) and its bucolic flower meadows.

Near the vat room and cellars, just in front of the château, three of our Merlot plots set the tone for the seasons as the years go by.
