estate

Should the inspired rambler decide to follow the course of the little stream dubbed “La Barbanne” – the Ariadne’s thread of the wine-growing region of the Libournais – he cannot fail to pause and contemplate the magnificent estate of Belles Graves on its sun-soaked hillside. This ancient estate was mentioned in the first editions of “Bordeaux and its Wines”, by Cocks and Féret; at that time it was known as the “Domaine de Drouilleau”.

Situated gracefully on a sunny hillside, far from the noise and bustle of the outside world, Belles Graves possesses a serene, bucolic charm that is all its own. You will reach its harmonious buildings, surrounded by long rows of vines stretching out into the distance, at the end of a long path in the calm shade of hundreds of years old lime trees.
