The story of the estate began in 1920, when Jean François Morel, a Swiss vintner, settled in Gascony to cultivate vines. The vineyard initially covered about 10 hectares.
His daughter Denise and her husband Jean Jegerlhener settled on the estate in 1960, and their passion for wine inspired them to build cellars and expand the vineyard. Their son Philip joined the team and now devotes his time to managing the vineyard.
Their daughter Elisabeth also has a passion for vines and wine. She decided to study oenology and became a professional oenologist. After working at the well-known Tariquet estate, and with the help of her husband, Henry Prataviera, she developed the estate which today covers 120 hectares. The first bottles were produced in 2003, and over 850 000 were sold in 2011.
Today, the estate continues in its expansion and modernisation, and is becoming more and more well known.
