-In 1950 The arrival at the wine estate of Guy Darriet, chemical engineer and officer in the navy, was a real benefit as he developed an avant- gardiste environmental approach
-In 1952, Château Dauphiné-Rondillon entered the cellar of the French Presidency, "L’Elysée".

We have 6 chateaux in several Bordeaux appellations (Bordeaux, Cadillac, Loupiac...) One of them will certainly please you . The wine cellar, older than 150 years, will make you travel through time by revealing the smell of the old oak barrels and the dusty bottles hiding forgotten vintages.
