Taken over in 2007 by Chantal and Philippe Miecaze, Château de Léognan is a 6-hectare family estate located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. Driven by a lifelong passion for wine, they restored the 17th-19th century château and breathed new life into this historic site, once frequented by François Mauriac. The vineyard, planted and meticulously maintained, rests on gravelly soils ideal for the optimal ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon, in the heart of a protected environment within the Landes pine forest. The vines, planted at high density, are harvested by hand with successive sorting to guarantee impeccable quality. Production is resolutely focused on excellence and is part of a process of revival, a powerful symbol of the estate's identity. The wines of Château de Léognan are now regularly awarded and praised by international competitions and the specialized press.
