The family naturally continues to work together, choosing integrated agricultural practices that reflect their high environmental values. The ‘Vignobles Meyre’, a family company located in the heart of the Médoc, near Bordeaux, is made up of three châteaux - Chateau Cap Leon Veyrin, Chateau Julien and Chateau Bibian. When selling their wines, you can be sure of top quality products from world-renowned appellations. For six generations now, the family has striven to produce excellent wines, ensuring the satisfaction of even the most demanding connoisseurs.

Château Cap Léon Veyrin has been family-owned since 1810 when the Château Cap Léon and the Veyrin estates were joined. The word ‘Cap’ originally meant ‘head’. The vineyard of Cap Veyrin actually sits on the higher land of Listrac Médoc, and thus boasts ideal natural drainage and sun exposure. '
