The story
This small, 6-hectare property was purchased by the Delon family of Châteaux Léoville Las Cases, Clos du Marquis, and Potensac at the same time as Château Nenin in Pomerol. Located on the border of the pretty Fronsac appellation on a clay-sand soil. It could be considered as the laboratory of the Delon family. Cutting edge techniques are tried and tested at Chateau Saint Michel making it a wine at the pinnacle of technology.
