Château Vieux Cardinal Lafaurie can trace its history in the village of Néac back to the 12th century, when Knights of St. John of Jerusalem established a hospital at the current location. Today, the estate plants with focus on growing grapes for dense, concentrated wines that exemplify the style of Lalande-de-Pomerol. This goal is aided significantly by the age of the estate’s vines, with one plot being 50 years old.
