Chateau des Antonins has belonged to the de Roquefeuil family since the 1850s. Located in the southern part of Graves, 13 kilometres from Langon, the estate includes a toll bridge, a chapel, a monastery and five windmills. The Chateau takes its name from the Antonins, a monastic order who set up the monastery in the 13th century, as a centre of cure for ergotism. After phylloxera much of the vineyard was dug up and planted with other crops, and only a small part remains dedicated to vines.

Geoffroy believes Bordeaux Blanc should be drunk young while fruity and petillant, as an aperitif or served with oysters, and makes his Bordeaux Superieur accordingly. As for the red, he wants to make a wine that is powerful, hence the long maceration, and the need of some time before drinking. This approach is going against the tide within the appellation of Bordeaux Superieur, where the tendency is to make wines for immediate consumption. The proportion of Cabernet to Merlot in the wine varies from year to year, while the average yield of 45 hl/ha is well below the maximum of 62 hl/ha permitted for the appellation. He started experimenting with microbullage with the 2001 vintage.
