About Ch. Le Prieuré
The domain was founded in 1832, when it was led by Baron Olivier Guichard, a man with a great political past. In 2004 it was taken over by the sixth generation of the family. Since then, daughter Aline and her husband Paul Goldschmidt have been at the helm. The vineyards cover an area of ??6.24 hectares on a lime-rich surface and are oriented directly to the south. These are subdivided into 19 plots.
