“Our belief in the quality of this terroir and confidence in the team at Côte Montpezat, led by Technical Director Jean-François Lalle and Administration Director Delphine Toullec, encouraged us to invest further in the wine business, even in such challenging times. This property, its terroir, and vineyards have enjoyed numerous successes over the years. It possesses the qualities of the great estates from the Right Bank and the potential to build on its past achievements.

Excited about this potential and personally interested in wine for many years, our group became the owners of the 30 hectares of Château Côte Montpezat after my wife and I purchased Château Haut Bernat AOC Puisseguin Saint-Émilion in 2019 as our first step. Building on that experience and the lessons learned over the past years, I decided to expand our portfolio. Our commitment to a quality-first approach in all our business ventures has naturally extended to the wine industry. I believe that the foundation of a great wine starts in the vineyard, with its grapes, a diverse terroir, and a sustainable approach to the environment being of utmost importance.

Today, we adapt our work to the needs of the vineyard and build on past efforts. Now certified HVE 4 and Bee Friendly, with Terra Vitis certification in process, we clearly demonstrate our respect for the environment. This philosophy continues in the cellar, where we uphold the same rigorous standards, all with the ultimate goal of creating elegant, beautiful wines that reflect their origins. These wines are crafted for pleasure and enjoyment, while also possessing the ability to age gracefully.” – Sean LEGAULT
