The name Haut-Bages refers to the topographical designation at the "highest" point of the place called "Bages", historic plots that are among the highest quality in the Pauillac appellation. It was the Libéral family who, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, added their name to that of the estate. Over time, these fine connoisseurs brought together the best terroirs in the south of the Pauillac appellation and were rewarded in 1855, with the title of Grand Cru Classé. The castle then passed from hand to hand, until the arrival of Jacques Merlaut in 1982
