The parcels of this property are situated on the eastern part of the town Saint-Estephe. The estate, composed of gravel, is oriented at the estuary of the Gironde. Thanks to the valuable advices of Eric Boissenot, one of the most famous winemakers in the world, who advises 4 of the first 5 Grands Crus Classés of Medoc, the Delon family continues to improve its superb Cru Bourgeois.
