Château Le Prieur was acquired in 1912 by the Garzaro family. There were only 4 hectares of vines in the Entre-deux-Mers region. After four generations of work, Vignobles Garzaro now cultivates 60 ha in Entre-deux-Mers, 6 ha in Saint-Emilion and 4 ha in Pomerol.

Situated on magnificent clay-limestone slopes well exposed to the mild Bordeaux climate, the vines of Château Le Prieur allow noble grape varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon to give their best. In Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, the deep, gravelly sands allow these grape varieties to produce wines of character.

Our story

I was born into the business and took over the estate in 1989, after studying viticulture. Joined by a first brother in 1999, then by a second in 2005, the three of us manage this magnificent family estate.

The meeting that made the biggest impression on me was with Gilles Pauquet, consultant oenologist for the greatest names in the Libourne region (Cheval Blanc, Gazin, L'Evangile), who has now joined our adventure by becoming oenologist for our vineyards. Without him, we would never have reached this level of quality!
