Around 1796, the merchant Gaubert wanted to expand his country house and make it an important winery. He entrusted the work to the architect Gabriel Durand, collaborator of Victor Louis, who directed the construction of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux. Durand preserves the original construction - also from the eighteenth century - enlarges it and develops a park in which he builds a vast set of outbuildings intended to ensure the progress of the estate. Located in the center of Portets, this house could have disappeared under the pickaxe of the demolishers-subdivisions. Fortunately for the town and the Graves region, its classification in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments and its purchase by Dominique Haverlan, have allowed the safeguarding of this building and the restoration of the vineyard. After conducting serious oenology studies, Dominique Haverlan, son of a winegrower, created in 1981, within the family farm, his own vineyard. To this end, he buys, rents, groups and plants various plots, on Portets and Beautiran, whose current area is about forty hectares. In 1983, the family facilities were not important enough, he transferred his winemaking equipment to the magnificent cellars of a former winery and set up an aging cellar in barrels that allowed him, thanks to a quality ageing, to give letters of nobility to his production. Finally, in 1988, the acquisition of Vieux Château Gaubert and its rehabilitation – currently under way – gave this farm a brand image in total harmony with the wines that came from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e90 Points Wine Enthusiast\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"From the historic chateau where Montesquieu wrote “Spirit of Laws” in 1748, this bright wine with a hint of spice is already balanced. Freshness contrasts with richness as well as plenty of fruitiness.
