Château Gruaud-Larose is a Second Growth Bordeaux with 200 acres of vineyards in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle. The vineyards are farmed according to strict biodynamic methods and the wine is known for being full-bodied yet refined.

The Ponnelle family has made wine since 1870, using the best fruit from Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Their “Chevre Noire” label comes from the story of a local goat with the good taste to eat the tender vine buds rather than the nearby weeds.

A Grand Cru of St.-Emilion, Quinault L’Enclos is produced in a 17th century estate. LVMH’s Bernard Arnault and Albert Frere purchased it in 2008, revived the wine and now produce 60,000 bottles a year.
