The history of the estate began in 1858 with the acquisition of vineyards by the Arnoux family in Vosne-Romanée, one of the most famous appellations in the Côte de Nuits. Over the years, the family has developed and expanded its vineyards, acquiring plots in prestigious climats such as Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Échezeaux, Clos de Vougeot and others.

In 2009, Charles Lachaux, representing the fifth generation of the Arnoux family, took over the management of the estate. He brought new ideas and a more rigorous approach to viticulture and winemaking. Charles has also worked to convert the estate to organic viticulture, with an emphasis on respect for the environment.

"Vin de Prince, it is velvet, seduction and mystery. It is the most Proustian of the great wines: under the secret perfume of a rose petal, barely faded, of a Romanée-Conti 1956, is it not the intense and pure sensation of Time Regained that invades us? Could it be that the gods have left us a souvenir in this square of land? The fascinating trace of a timeless perfection?

It owes its unique qualities to the genius of its terroir and the passionate work of a succession of generations. It is a remarkable wine that comes from a combination of characteristics rarely found: finesse, elegance, complexity, density, intensity, length and freshness. Although its tannic concentration is often exceptional, it is rare to detect astringency.

The great vintages are distinguished by their formidable capacity to move us. Smaller vintages are the delight of discerning wine lovers. They have the advantage of evolving more quickly and, after a few years, they reveal, in the absence of power, the subtlety that is the prerogative of the great terroirs.

Château Margaux has an extraordinary capacity for evolution. Over the years, it has developed remarkable finesse, aromatic complexity and presence on the palate.

Jean-Pierre Moueix made significant changes to the production of Petrus. He reduced the size of the vineyard and introduced rigorous grape selection. He also introduced technical innovations, notably the use of stainless steel vats for fermentation, which improved the quality of the wine produced. The turning point for Petrus came in 1947, when the wine won international recognition at a tasting in Brussels. Since then, Petrus has become synonymous with excellence and prestige in the world of wine. Despite its worldwide renown, Petrus remains a relatively small estate with limited production. The vines cover around 11.5 hectares and are mainly planted with Merlot, a grape variety that thrives in the clay soil of Pomerol. The estate does not produce a second wine, which means that all the grapes harvested are used to produce Petrus itself.

Today, Petrus is still run by the Moueix family. Jean-François Moueix, son of Jean-Pierre, and his team continue the legacy of quality and excellence established by their predecessor. Each vintage of Petrus is eagerly awaited by collectors and wine lovers the world over, and it remains one of the most sought-after wines on the market, with prices that reflect its iconic status.
