The domain was purshased by an Scottish
couple in 2001,
James and Joanna King.
They have restored de old buildings dating back to the early Middle Ages.
By the purchase some of the vineyards were not found good enough and
have been uprooted and hasn't been replanted. Some hadn't got the right varieties for the terroir. Some
parcels of good terroir were not planted with wines.
By the purchase 19 ha. were planted with vines. For a period there were
only 12 ha. Now (2009) wines are produced from 15 ha. The red wines are
made from vineyards around the castle (altitude 300m), and the white
varieties from lower situated vineyards.
The road to biological certification have started in
2009 and will take 2-3 years to be realised.
