Château d'Eck

In Bordeaux, Michel Gonet cultivates several prestigious terroirs across multiple appellations, including Pessac-Léognan, Graves de Vayres, and Bordeaux Supérieur/Bordeaux.

Three estates stand as the group’s flagship properties:

Château Haut-Bacalan and Château d’Eck in Pessac-Léognan
Château Lesparre in Graves de Vayres
Additional vineyards include Château Haut-Brana, Château Saint-Eugène, Château Haut-L’Évêque, Château Durand-Bayle, and Château La Rose Videau.

One notable property, located in Cadaujac, dates back to the late 11th century and once served as a residence for bishops and English kings between the 13th and 15th centuries. In 1999, Frédéric Gonet acquired and fully restored it, renovating the roofs and replanting the long-abandoned vineyards.

Vineyard details:
