Château
Petit Bocq
Petit Bocq’s vineyard originality is its mosaic of 90 different plots scattered from the top North (Saint-Corbian) to the bottom South (Cos) of the appellation. Forming a total area of 19 hectares, it portrays beautifully the Saint-Estèphe terroir. Following in Gäetan Lagneaux’s footsteps, the Lagneaux Family chooses to produce only one wine, helping each plot to give its best.
Half of our wine is made of Merlot, whereas the other half is made of Cabernet Sauvignon. Since 2013, 1% of Petit Verdot comes in to spice and match the blend.
