| Description: | According to historical documents, in 1704, Château de Laborde farmed at least 90 "ouvrées" (3.85 hectares) of vineyards. The château was purchased in 1785 by a former banker, Jean Joseph de Laborde (the name is just a coincidence!), who was knighted by Louis XV, becoming the Marquis de Laborde. He was executed by guillotine in 1794 and the château was left abandoned until 1814. During the Restoration Period, when the château was almost in a state of ruin, it was purchased back by his heirs. However, time has taken its toll and sadly only a few of the buildings adjoining the original château remain today, including the barn, which is now the vat-house ("la cuverie"), the stables, which have been turned into offices, and the old farmhouse where Hervé Kerlann and his family now live.
