Château Haut La Pierrière

Château Haut La Pierrière has belonged to the De Marcillac family for more than 400 years. In 1607, François de Lageard, an ancestor of the current owners, received as a dowry this 13th century feudal residence, protected by a dry moat carved from the rocks. The journey through time continued with the addition of an interior courtyard and trompe-l’oeil design, completed in 1865 with the construction of a round tower, forming today one of the most magnificent attractions in the region.

But it wasn’t until 1960 that the vineyard awoke from its slumber to reveal its true potential – a stunning location in the hills of Gardegan-et-Tourtirac, with several hectares of vines planted on the slopes and soils adjoining Saint-Emilion, sharing the same limestone bedrock. The similarities to Saint-Emilion in terms of geography and geology, are reflected in the style of its wines, focusing on fruit, elegance and suppleness.
