However, the climate of Libourne is more continental with a greater variation in temperature during the day and less rain in summer and winter.

In 2006 Chateau Domeyne was purchased by Claire Villars Lurton--owner of Chateau Haut-Bages Liberal and Chateau Ferriere-and her husband Gonzque Lurton-owner of Chateau Durfort Vivens. They poured all their energy and know-how into elevating Chateau Domeyne’s quality and reputation within the appellation. Their vineyards cover 8.3 hectares near Chateau Calon-Segur comprised of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 60% Merlot with an average age of 40 years. They rest on the ridges and plateaus of Saint-Estephe’s well-draining soil composed of clay and limestone. As a result the wines develop round fleshy tannins beautiful depth of color powerful structure and great aromatic finesse.
