Château La Commanderie is an historic estate burnished by a 21st century update. Parts of the 10-acre estate date to the 13th century, when its vineyards provided wines for monks and knights. But its contemporary story started in 2004, when Magali and Thibaut Decoster, a young couple with business backgrounds and a passion for wine, were able to purchase Château La Commanderie and Clos des Jacobins, also in St. Emilion. They replanted vineyards and renovated the estate, and in 2017 the Decosters also acquired the nearby estates of Château de Candale and Château Roc de Candale. In 2012 Château La Commanderie was promoted to St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé status. The consulting oenologist is Hubert de Bouard de Laforest.
