About the Producer Château La Vieille Cure
Le Château de la Vieille Cure dates from 1780. Most of the vineyard has a south-east orientation along the river Isle, 65 metres above sea level. It was bought in 1986 by American collectors who were captivated by the quality of the vineyard. They renovated the property to play to its strengths and thus enhanced the reputation of the domaine.
