Thought-provoking notebooks written during the French Revolution trace the story of the Bonalgue vineyard in those days. At the height of the First Empire, Captain Rabion, a veteran of Napoleon’s Grande Armée, had the house built in Saint-Emilion stone and decorated it with the arms of his regiment. The garden was adorned with magnificent cedars of Lebanon, now two hundred years old... Château Bonalgue was thus born.
