Over the years, Château Fleur Cardinale has become one of the jewels in the crown of the Saint-Émilion appellation. Dominique and Florence Decoster entered the winegrowing business in 2001, having previously managed the Haviland factory, which specialized in Limoges porcelain. Thanks to their hard work and passion, Château Fleur Cardinale was promoted to the rank of Grand Cru Classé in 2006, and is frequently rewarded for its quality. Constantly improving, the wines are the image of their terroir and owner, full of generosity and elegance.
In 2011, they acquired Château Croix Cardinale, a neighboring property with 8 hectares of vines. The Decoster family continues to innovate, both in its vision with an eco-responsible approach and in its communication. In 2018, it is one of the 10 most influential French estates on the internet, thanks to content that is pleasant, offbeat, educational, but always authentic.
