The estate

The Rolland family bought a parcel at Néac in the 1920s, in the Bertineau locality of Lalande-de-Pomerol, and the name joins the place to Saint Vincent, a martyr of the 4th century, patron of winemakers and protector of wine, whose feast falls on January 22. It shares a house with Château Le Bon Pasteur, in Pomerol, L’Étoile de Bon Pasteur and Château Rolland Maillet.

The vineyard covers 5.6 hectares, planted 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, on a mix of clay and gravel that turns sandy toward the river bed on the western side of the property.
