Team spirit ran strong in the veins of John Lewis Brown who belonged to Clan Broun of Colstoun, whose motto is “Floreat Majestas” (“Let majesty flourish”), hinting at a link with nature.

Tristan Le Lous -born of a family based in Burgundy- discovered Bordeaux when he met his future wife who introduced him to the region’s wines.

The environmental quality standards and technical excellence are set at high level : it will be built with only raw earth and solid wood, both being untreated, natural and biosourced materials from the Aquitaine region.

The château is located on stony land in the south of Margaux on a gravelly soil typical of the Médoc allowing good drainage.
