About the Producer
The Arnaud family, recent owners at the magnificent Château Pomys, know how to make great Saint-Estèphe. Their 2 domaines stretch over 12 hectares around the Marbuzet commune upon an exceptional deep clay/gravel plateau. In the 18th century, the property was one of the most important in the appellation, having passed through the hands of, among others, the world renowned Estournel. The changing of hands of the property reduced it in size until 1951 when the Arnaud family purchased it.
