At that time, the wine of the property was not à la carte but Mr. Joseph de Laet Derache always arrived thanks to the mother "Loubat" to accompany his meal with a noble beverage Petrus 47. The Belgians have not not only the reputation of living well ...The young doctor in law started his apprenticeship. Fifth of the generation of private bankers, the family favors excellence of service and work to profitability. That carries them!He decides today to apply the same philosophy to this new project. He makes every effort and decides to return to this wonderful terroir, which he has just acquired, all he deserves while maintaining the tradition.
