In 1852, he owned three crus: Cos d'Estournel, Cos Labory and Pomys. From the 1830s, he built one of the most extraordinary cellars in the Médoc, surmounted by Chinese pagodas and equipped with a carved door specially from India. The Marquis was indeed a great connoisseur of the East with which he traded. He had discovered in particular the benefit that his precious bottles could derive from a round trip by sea from India, bottles then known as "Return from India".
