During winter, the vineyard adopts an agricultural-pastoral symbiosis, letting flocks of sheep graze to prevent damage to the land and vines from large machinery.

Since acquiring Château Malartic-Lagravière in 1997, the Bonnie family has continued to work tirelessly, with passion and commitment, to perfect the estate’s wines and carry them to the highest level.     

The estate used to belong the family of Comte Hippolyte Maurès de Malartic, was known under the name of Domaine de la Gravière until 1850, when it changed name to take on its current name of Château Malartic- Lagravière.

Alexis Lichine took over the property in 1952. He completely restructured Chateau Lascombes and renovated the vineyard and cellars, giving this large vineyard new life. In 1971, he sold everything to the English brewer, Bass-Charrington. Since its purchase in April 2001 by Colony Capital, a new era has begun for this proper.

Each terroir is different and produces a unique wine.   

The Cantenac Brown soil is typical Médoc gravel. This beautiful, brilliant quartz, formerly called "Médoc diamonds" reflects the sun's rays onto the grapes by day and then releases the heat stored during the day to warm the grapes by night. Cabernets, in particular Cabernet Sauvignons, do well in this soil. They produce fine wines, with an intense bouquet, which are suitable for aging. Merlot, with which they are blended, provides color, richness and smoothness. 

Château d'Arsac, nestled in Bordeaux's Margaux appellation, boasts one of the region's oldest vineyards. Situated in Arsac commune, it extends its vineyards into the wider Haut-Médoc area.
