The Château L’Escadre, acquired in 1832 by the Carreau family, was purchased from an Admiral of the French navy. In honor of the former owner, the Carreau family named the château « L’Escadre », which is a navy term designating a float of boats. Today, Jean-Marie Carreau lives in this elegant 19th century family house, which stands among the 32 hectares of the vineyard, on a clay & limestone soil.
