Château Pontoise Cabarrus

The estate has carried the Cabarrus name since Jean Valère Cabarrus bought Pontoise from Joseph Hector de Brane in 1795. The Haut-Médoc estate appeared in the 1932 Cru Bourgeois classification. Émile Tereygeol acquired the property in 1959; the vineyard he passed to his son François was then expanded and modernized, and a later generation continues the work.

At Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, twenty-seven hectares of vines extend toward the Gironde estuary and the neighbouring appellation of Saint-Estèphe. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grow on gravel soils, with the oldest vines dating to 1951. The family grows its own grapes and makes the wines at the estate.
