History
of the estate
The property covers around 3.5 hectares on Garonne gravel and clay-limestone soils. Founded by the Bussier family, it was taken over in 2009 by Maxime Saint-Martin, one of the youngest winegrowers in Saint-Estèphe, assisted by oenologists Jacques and Eric Boissenot. This family estate relies on traditional know-how and an exceptional terroir to produce elegant, characterful wines.
