The Château Grand Maison is one of the few properties of 6.5 ha of a single tenant, located on the heights, dominating from its 80 meters of altitude almost the whole appellation Côtes-de-Bourg.
Dedicated to the vine for several centuries, this large specific terroir dominating the Gironde, was already mentioned among the best Bordeaux Crus in the edition of the Féret of 1850, under the name of its former owner P. Berniard, and reproduced in the Féret of 1922 with the mention of "premier cru Bourgeois" (before the classification of the Crus Bourgeois du Médoc in 1933), under the name of the owner Lucas. After the acquisition by Hervé Romat and Jean Mallet in 2004, he sold his shares to François Tailliez in 2014. The Castle has just been taken over by Monsieur and Madame Pouvaret.
