Originally, the Castle of the Domain of the Church was called Domaine de la Porte Rouge, it then belonged to the order of the Hospitallers, order treating the sick in particular the lepers. The latter could not knock on any doors except those painted red for contagional reasons and were thus welcomed and cared for by the Hospitallers.

Many of the Church throughout the centuries, Domaine de l'Eglise was seized and sold at the time of the French Revolution, and then became the property of the Landard family, whose last descendant gave her up to the Castéja family in 1972.

In the heart of Pomerol, on the plateau, the Castle of the Domain of the Church possesses this exceptional terroir of grave clay, with a basement of iron filth, like its close neighbours of Petrus, the Gospel, Clinet... the average age of the vineyard is 45 years.

The wines are ample, silky, rich and round where the dominant Merlot of this exceptional terroir gives remarkable products.
