Le Clos Du Beau Père was acquired by Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud in 2006. This new name replaces the previous one Ratouin, the former owner’s name.
The propery comprises of two very distinct terroirs, one with very deep gravel soils and the other with clay soils. Merlot and Cabernet Franc are grown and for this vintage the composition is 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, with ageing done for 16 months in new oak barrels.
