Father and son winegrowers with a passion for wine handed down from generation to generation.

Returning home after WWI, Pierre Lagardère, Gaël Lagardère’s great-grandfather, bought a hectare of land in Pomerol. Thus began the family tradition of winemaking that has continued over the last four generations.

A hard-working vitner, Yves Lagardère began extending his acreage through the acquisition of new vineyards in Montagne and Pomerol. His son, Jean-Claude, who took over in 1982, continued to grow the landholding thorough further vineyard purchases (17 hectares in Montagne and 2.2 hectares in Pomerol).

Produced using sustainable agricultural methods, the grapes used in Château Négrit and Rocher-Calon grow on the clay and limestone hillsides characteristic of the Montagne–Saint-Emilion region and yield high-quality wines distinguished by plush flavors of ripe red fruit.

Héritage de Négrit is a special reserve produced from our best vineyards.

Each vintage yields 6,000 bottles of wine aged in oak barrels. This special reserve is not advertised. This wine is characterized by tight tannins with hints of vanilla and red fruit. 

These charming wines are the result of traditional wine-making combined with modern technology. Jean Philippe Fort, a consultant working for the Michel Rolland Laboratory, dispenses expert advice on wine-making processes and grape-growing.
