Chateau Haut Ségottes is owned and operated by Danielle Meunier. Madame Meunier, “vigneronne extraordinaire,” is the fourth generation of her family to oversee this nine-hectare estate situated in the heart of the Saint Emilion appellation. The vineyards are planted 60% to Merlot, 35% to Cabernet Franc, and 5% to Cabernet Sauvignon. The position of the vineyards within the appellation is outstanding. Parcels are found within the “lieu-dits” of Fortin (across from La Dominique and 300 meters from Cheval Blanc); Chauvin; and the highly regarded “Plateau de Corbin”. Madame Meunier is renown for her meticulousness and dedication to quality, which shows in every wine from this practicing organic estate. This also runs in the family; her great-grandfather purchased the estate around 1860 and had earned gold medals for his wine as early as 1912 at the Concours Agricole in Paris, a feat nearly unheard of in its time.
