Description
The vineyard of Chateau Domeyne is located on a beautiful hill of big gravels and it surrounds the vineyard of Chateau Calon-Segur. The property confirmed in 2003 its ranking of the 1932 Cru Bourgeois and collects good scores every year. Excellent facilities allow the winemaking of a wine full of nuances and personality.

They put all their know-how to lift this wine among the best in the classification of Saint Estephe.
