RICH SOILS
 AOC Lalande de Pomerol
Lalande de Pomerol appellation is made up of two communes: Néac, and Lalande de Pomerol. It is on Néac that the vines are located, in the prolongation of the plateau of Pomerol. From the West to the East, the soils are sand-gravel to clay-limestones very rich in clays, to finish on pure clays. The gravels give to the wines smoothness and elegance, and clays bring the power and the force. From the blend of these 3 very different soils we obtains rich and complex wines.
 Château Haut Chatain
Château La Rose Chatain
 AOC Montagne Saint Emilion
Located in the extreme west of the commune of Montagne, in the prolongation of the plateau of Pomerol and Néac, the vines of the property are planted on sand-gravel and clay soils. The originality of this terroir of Montagne lies in the undersoil made up of iron oxides (also called “iron chips”). They get very spiced flavours and make that the Montagne Saint Emilion wines of the property are powerful and specific of their soil. Château Lacoste Chatain, is now produced by Château Altimar (run by Martine Riviere’s son: Martial Junquas) since 2018
Château Lacoste Chatain
