The tower symbolising the estate is a former lighthouse built in the middle of the vines in 1825 to guide sailors navigating on the Gironde Estuary on foggy nights.
In 1965, Marc Pagès, an agricultural engineer from Tunisia, purchased this beautiful estate in the northern Médoc and was responsible for its restoration. He was assisted by Professor Emile Peynaud, whose advice contributed enormously to making the most of the remarkable terroir. Marc brought this Médoc estate up to its full potential during the four decades in which he managed it.
In 2005, his grandson, Frédéric Le Clerc followed his grandfather’s winemaking philosophy combining quality, precision winemaking, and respect for traditional techniques.
