“It is our firm belief in the outstanding quality of this terroir, the strength of its foundations, and its proven track record that encouraged us to invest further in wine, even in these challenging times. Over the years, this estate, its soils, and its vines have achieved numerous successes. It possesses all the qualities of the finest Right Bank estates and the potential to build upon these achievements.
Captivated by this potential and personally passionate about wine for many years, our group became the owner of the 30 hectares of Château Côte Montpezat, following the acquisition by my wife and myself of Château Haut Bernat, AOC Puisseguin Saint-Émilion, in 2019 — our first step into the world of wine. Strengthened by this experience and the knowledge gained over the past few years, I decided to expand our portfolio. Our commitment to excellence in all our ventures has naturally extended to the world of wine.
I am convinced that the foundation of a great wine begins in the vineyard — with its grapes and its diverse terroir. A sustainable approach to the environment is also of utmost importance to us.
Today, we adapt our work to the needs of the vines while continuing the efforts already undertaken. Certified HVE Level 4, Bee Friendly, and Terra Vitis since 2024, we demonstrate our clear respect for the environment. This philosophy continues in the cellar, where we apply the same high standards with the ultimate goal of crafting elegant wines that truly reflect their origins.
These wines are made to be shared and enjoyed — approachable in their youth, yet with excellent ageing potential.” – Sean Legault
