Château Lacombe Cadiot is located several kilometres from Château Tayet in Ludon Médoc and was the fifth and final estate acquired by the De Schepper family in 2004.

Located several kilometres from the Margaux appellation, Ludon Médoc is famous for its internationally-renowned estates including Château La Lagune and Château d’Agassac.

The vineyards of the Médoc estate are situated in a single block opposite the Bec d’Ambés, where the Dordogne and Garonne Rivers meet.

According to the archives, Louis XIV, the Sun King, was the most illustrious former estate owner. He praised the quality of the soil at Château Lacombe Cadiot, and enjoyed hunting on the grounds, before handing the estate over to his vassal, Sir Lacombe, who gave his name to the estate.
