The estate

Created in 1920 by a couple of enthusiasts, the Château Le Bon Pasteur was taken over in 1978 by the famous oenologist Michel Rolland and his brother who thus succeeded their father at the head of this Bordeaux grand cru.

The vineyard

The Château Le Bon Pasteur 2023 is a Pomerol wine from a 5.2 hectare production vineyard, with an average vine age of 40 years. The vineyard is certified High Environmental Value level 3.

Vinification and ageing

The grapes macerate cold for 5 to 7 days before being fully vinified in French oak barrels. The ageing, lasting 15 months, is carried out in French oak barrels (50% of which are new).
