The Chateau Haut-Segottes is owned and operated by Danielle Meunier. Mme. Meunier, "vigneronne extraordinaire", is the fourth generation of her family to oversee this nine hectare estate situated in the heart of the Saint Emilion appellation. Mme. Meunier's great-grandfather purchased the estate around 1860 and had earned gold medals for his wine as early as 1912. In 1959, the estate began to bottle its wine in earnest. In 1972 Madame Meunier took the reins of production.

The 9 hectares of Chateau Haut-Segottes are all planted within the St. Emilion Grand Cru appellation. The vineyards are planted 60% to Merlot, 35% to Cabernet Franc, and 5% to Cabernet Sauvignon. Parcels are found within the "lieu-dits" of Fortin (across from La Dominique and 300 meters from Cheval Blanc); Chauvin; and the highly regarded "Plateau de Corbin". Production levels average 45 hectoliters per hectare. Haut-Segottes bottles between 30,000 to 40,000 bottles per year.

A traditional approach that emphasises respect for the fruit and the terroir is favoured. The grapes are hand-picked to ensure a rigorous selection of berries. Fermentation takes place in vats with precise temperature control to preserve the aromas and specific characteristics of each plot. The wines are matured in French oak barrels for 12 to 18 months. The winemaking at Château Haut Segottes is remarkable for its deep respect for the fruit and terroir in a constant quest for quality and excellence.
