STORY BEHIND THE WINE

The Paveil vineyard dates back to the 17th century and belonged until the end of the 18th century to the Lords of Bretonneau, one of whose members married, during the reign of Louis XV, a daughter of the Chevalier de Rauzan. In 1862, Baron Alfred de Luze bought this magnificent 120-hectare estate and made his wines known throughout the world. The Siberian winter of 1956 destroyed a large part of the vineyard and in 1960, Baron Geoffroy de Luze decided to restore the property's splendor.
The rejuvenation treatment was undertaken methodically and patiently: replanting the vineyard, restoring the vat room, renovating the cellars.
