Les Sources de Livran, Médoc, 2017

About the producer

On November 22, 1280, the Médoc was under English rule, and his majesty Edward I granted the lordship of Livran to the knights Arnaud and Beraud de Goth, with permission to build a castle. At the end of the 19th century, the estate was acquired by the London merchants Denmans, who helped develop the international reputation of Château Livran. Chateau Livran consolidated its position among the wines of the Medoc when it was classified as a Cru Bourgeois in 1932. On September 16, 2013, the property was acquired by Edwige Michon-Lurton.
