Histoire du domaine
Château de Myrat is situated in Barsac, within the Haut-Barsac terroir. The present-day charterhouse was rebuilt around 1730 by the Demirat family on the foundations of older structures. The estate was classified as a second growth in the 1855 Imperial Classification for the wines of Sauternes and Barsac. In 1937, Count Max de Pontac purchased the property, continuing his family’s long-standing connection to the Bordeaux vineyards. Faced with difficulties in marketing sweet wines, the entire vineyard was grubbed up in the mid-1970s. Following the death of Max de Pontac in 1988, his sons Jacques and Xavier decided to replant the vines and renovate the cellars in order to retain their planting rights. The first vintage from the new plantings was produced in 1991, but difficult weather conditions in the early years limited production. Since 2010, Slanie Ricard de Pontac and Elisabeth de Pontac, daughters of Jacques de Pontac, have been involved in vineyard work, cellar operations and marketing, and now manage the estate.
