Estate
The Donissan de Citran family ruled over this feudal estate in the 11th century and remained owners until 1832, when the last female heir was forced to sell the estate to Mr. Clauzel. This rich, ambitious businessman then drew the property's bounderies as they are today and pushed it to prominence among the Medoc estates.
