In 1951, Dr Jacques Chauveau bought a simple
farm.
His son, Gérard Chauveau, architect and town planner,
inherited the property in 1968 and decided to create a modern,
functional wine-growing estate.
In 1969, he planted his first vines.
He gradually acquired new land to build up the estate to its
current size.
With his professional skills, and using local materials, he
built the house which has been the family home since 1978.
In the same year, a 500m_ vinification warehouse was dug
into the rock, equipped with stainless steel vats. The
functional design allows work to be carried out at three
levels.
In 1986, a 150m-long gallery was dug out at the back of the
warehouse, providing excellent storage conditions for bottled
wine.
In 1986, the farmhouse was converted into a marketing warehouse
and offices.
In 1995, David Chauveau, in partnership with his father,
took over responsibility for vinification, and since 1998 he
has been running the estate, assisted by his mother,
Marie-Claude Chauveau
