history
François and Maria-Dolorès LINARD acquired the vines and the cellar in 2001. The total vineyard area covers 45,50 hectares, including 30 hectares of Lussac Saint-Emilion, 7,50 hectares of Montagne Saint-Emilion and 8 hectares of Bordeaux Supérieur. François LINARD belongs to the great family of the wine growers «Vignerons Indépendants», and is continuing to develop the estate, focusing on two main objectives: quality, respect for the soil and traditions. Since 2001 and with the help of a small versatile and operational team, 40% of vines have been replanted, the cellar has been modernized, and the wines have been redefined.
