Chateau Haut-Vigneau is located in the commune of Martillac.

This estate was once part of Chateau de La Brède, owned by the Montesquieu family.
Chateau Haut-Vigneau now belongs Eric Perrin.

In the mid-1980s he undertook a vast improvement programme, including major replanting, virtually recreating the vineyard from scratch.
