The Artigue family have been winemakers in the Bordeaux region, from father to son, for four generations. Chateau La Guillaumette, a beautiful 70 acre vineyard situated in Entre-deux-Mers is dedicated to Bordeaux Supérieur, while Chateau Galeteau, is a small St-Emilion Grand Cru vineyard, with an area of just under ten acres, located on the clay-limestone soils. Dedicated to organic practices, both properties are managed today by Bernard Artigue and his sons Antoine and Alexandre.
