The Raynaud-Lebreton family of winegrowers has been established in Pomerol since 1477. They have been operating the Château La Fleur de Gay vineyard since 1772. Jean Brugnet was one of the first to recognize the exceptional potential of the Pomerol terroir. Several generations have perpetuated the values of their ancestors. Since 1997, Chantal Lebreton has continued the work of her father, Noël Raynaud, with passion and rigor. From the vineyard to the cellar, she blends tradition and innovation to produce, vintage after vintage, a Grand Cru de Bordeaux Rouge.
