BRAND HIGHLIGHT

La Dauphine

The château was built between 1744 and 1750 by Jean-Baptiste de Richon, a lawyer at the Parliament of Paris, and a Civil and Criminal Judge in the Duchy of Fronsac. Shortly after its construction, Maria Josepha of Saxony, the Dauphine of France, and mother of several of the last Kings of France stayed at the château for a few days. This event contributed to the property's reputation, which was named in memory of the Princess’s visit.

In 1985, François-Régis Marcetteau de Brem sold La Dauphine to the Moueix family of Libourn.

In 2000, Jean Halley acquired Château de La Dauphine. Jean Halley, who died in 2011, and his son, Guillaume, undertook major investments to enhance the expression of the terroir and further develop the property's reputation. In 2015, the domain was purchased by the Labrune family, owner and founder of CEGEDIM, a technology and services company specialized in the health sector.

Continuing the efforts undertaken over the past fifteen years by the previous owners, the Labrune family intends to pursue the same strategy of producing high quality biodynamic wines that express the finesse of their terroir.
