In the capable hands of Alexia and Pierre Bouyer, the estates of Clos de la Cure and Château Milon represent seven generations of viticultural heritage. With the purchase of 4.5 additional hectares in 2008, situated on superb gravel terroir, the estate increased to 18 hectares.

A portion of the vines for Château Milon’s Cuvée Caprice are situated at the base of the Saint Christophe des Bardes slope and the rest lie on the gravel soils of Saint Sulpice. While the average vine age is 30 years, it is believed that vines were planted on the plateau in the Middle Ages. The vineyards are densely planted at 6600-9000 vines per hectare on a diverse array of soils dominated by sand, sandstone clay and gravel. The Bouyer family farms ecologically with great respect for the Grand Cru terroir.  For this commitment, the estate has earned the demanding Haute Valeur Environnementale certification, one of the first in Saint Emilion to do so.
