A historic estate, Château de Rouillac once belonged to the famous Baron Haussmann, who acquired the property in 1864. He ordered extensive renovation work and tied the estate’s history to horses by building beautiful stables. Even at that time, the estate was already producing an excellent red wine.

In 2009, when Laurent Cisneros came across the property, he fell under the spell of this “sleeping beauty” and decided to bind his destiny—and that of his family—to Rouillac. A passionate man and accomplished leader, he was reminded of his roots by his Spanish ancestors, winemakers in La Mancha. Rouillac had everything needed to embody a new life project: a magnificent terroir and exceptional working tools that only awaited being sustainably revived for Château de Rouillac.
