However, the Vallet Family has been working for 6 generations as owner grower of the Ch\u00e2teau Montifaud vineyard. It sees succeeded by Pierre-Augustin, Pierre-Adrien, Maurice, Louis and Michel. Nowadays, Laurent VALLET, the 6th generation, is the owner of the estate. With his wife, Elodie, they are the fervent holders of an authentic story where each generation follows one after another, but don’t resemble each other.<\/p>\n
