Château Rabaud-Promis, a Grand Cru Sauternes estate, was started in the 18th century. Located just opposite a road from famous Château d’Yquem, Rabaud-Promis is today owned and operated by Michele and Philippe Dejean and their son Thomas. Together they represent the eighth and ninth generations of Sauternes winemakers. The 100-acre estate is planted to the traditional Sauternes grapes of Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle. Besides the flagship wine, the estate produces Promesse de Rabaud-Promis, a second wine made from younger vines.
