CHEVALIER DES EAUX VIVES

History:

A family property for several generations now, it remains loyal to the wine-making traditions of the village and very attached to its history.

Located in the district of Saint Germain du Puch, a small village north of Entre Deux Mers, at 10km from Libourne and 25km from Bordeaux. This village of rural character is however proudly defended by the high-quality wine-making soil and resists vicious urbanization. Rich in history, Saint Germain du Puch prides itself on its numerous XI, XII, XIV, XVI and XVIIIth Century castles.
