Owner / Manager
The Moueix family controls and manages vineyards in two different and specific
ways: 1) as an owner, and 2) as a farmer. The principle of farming a property is
similar to renting or leasing it. The “farmer” manages the vineyard as if it were his
own: from vineyard managing to winemaking, bottling and sales.

KEY POINTS

quite a high proportion for Pomerol. The soil expresses itself through the wine,

adding a softness that allows it to be drunk young.
The remaining 80% is planted with Merlot vines grown on the gravelly part
of the property, bringing the typical characteristic of the
terrace of Pomerol to the wine: body, complexity and elegance.
Between the two famous châteaux, Lafleur and Gazin in
Pomerol, Château Lafleur-Gazin enjoys a unique terroir.
