A historical domain in Entre-Deux-Mers

Since 2010, this family-owned estate has been managed by winemakers Élisabeth and David Labat, who are dedicated to restoring the historical prestige of this domain. In recent years, the terroir has been certified as High Environmental Value (HVE), and the winemakers practice sustainable agriculture to respect their natural heritage.

What place does the estate hold in Bordeaux history?

A Premier Cru of Entre-Deux-Mers

Château Vermont holds a significant place in Bordeaux's viticultural history. In 1874, the family vineyard was classified as a Premier Cru of Entre-Deux-Mers by the Féret guide n° 3, the precursor to the 1855 classification. Unfortunately, the phylloxera crisis devastated the vineyard until Élisabeth Labat's father reclaimed and replanted it. Balancing audacity with tradition, the winemaking couple has made substantial efforts and investments to restore Château Vermont to its Premier Cru status.

They undertook a complete restoration of the vineyard and made extensive renovations in the cellar to produce increasingly high-quality wines that reflect their unique terroir. Through precise vinification, varying by plot, and controlled yields, Élisabeth and David have managed to restore Château Vermont’s reputation.

How does the family carry on its winemaking heritage?

Their passion and commitment to producing the best possible wines drive them to invest in the estate’s future.
