Philosopher and author, as well as public figure, businessman and winemaker, Charles de Montesquieu lived in La Brède, overseeing the development of his estate and vineyard. He was the first to promote the wines of the Graves region and helped build its reputation across France and Britain. In the early 18th century the property belonged to the philosopher’s father. After many owners, Gaston de Montesquieu acquired the estate, gave it a new identity, and that identity has been preserved ever since. The Milleyres vineyard appears in the official records of 1703 as part of the legacy inherited from his father, Jacques Secondat de Montesquieu. Purchased in 1756 by a Bordeaux wine merchant, the 23‑hectare estate includes a two‑storey mansion with a courtyard and garden, a granary, a wine cellar, a fermentation room, as well as arable land, vineyards, pastures and woodlands surrounding the buildings.
