The winemaker's pride
The estate was founded in 1927 thanks to the grandfather of the current owner Patrick Henry. He was then a wine merchant in Paris and left Parisian life to settle at the estate of Isle Saint Pierre. He then decided to plant vines and created a herd of sheep. The vineyard has reached a significant size of 170 hectares, all of which was initiated by Patrick and Marie-Cécile in 1972 when they chose to expand the estate. At the estate, the grape varieties used are Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and less well-known varieties such as Arinarnoa and Tannat. For white wines, the grape varieties used are chardonnay, sauvignon and muscat with small grains. Thanks to the expansion of the estate, we have chosen to test more exotic grape varieties for the region! That's the magic of wine!
