Chateau La Croix D'Armens / Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2016
History of Château La Croix d'Armens
Although the oldest surviving documents in the house date back to 1869, the family's wine history goes back much further. Starting with Marie Augereau, followed by her descendants, the family has grown into a true winemaking dynasty. Madeleine, a later heiress, mastered numerous challenges and continued the family tradition, always driven by the shared passion for winemaking and the land.

Madeleine's extraordinary courage and patience made it possible to modernize the vineyard and bring winemaking into the 21st century, setting new quality standards that can still be felt in every vintage today.
