The château’s renaissance began in 1999 when David Faure inherited the 18th-century Haut-Médoc property from his late parents. When he decided to plant a vineyard on its lone acre, he re-christened the estate, Mille Roses. Most notably, French for “thousand roses” — to honor his mother’s love for the fragrant flower.
