History

Vieux Chateau Palon is owned by Gregory Naulet. Gregory Naulet grew up in a family with a wine background as his father was the head of the Saint Emilion cooperative. Gregory Naulet purchased Vieux Chateau Palon in 1999.

In an effort to increase the quality and recognition of his estate, starting with the 2006 vintage, Gregory Naulet made the decision to bring in Hubert de Bouard of Chateau Angelus as their consultant to help with both the needed work in the vineyards and with their winemaking.
