Henri Bonneau is a 12th-generation winemaker and one of the legends of the appellation. He makes only about 1,500 cases a year and his top cuvee is the Reserve des Celestins, one of the most famous wines of southern France.
Château Haut-Bailly got its name in the 17th century, when it was purchased by Firmin Le Bailly, a Parisian banker. Today it is owned by an American banker and managed by the granddaughter of the previous owners.
In the 18th century Château Calon-Ségur was owned by the Marquis de Ségur, who also owned Latour and Lafite. The heart on the label reflects the Marquis’ famous saying: “I make my wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon.”
