At the beginning, in 1982, Clos Floridène was a small estate with 2 hectares of ancient white Semillon and Muscadelle vines, a winemaker's house, an old wine cellar and 2 hectares of fallow land that has been planted with Cabernet Sauvignon since its acquisition. Gradually, the current vineyard was created through the purchase of neighboring plots. In 1991, Clos Floridène was significantly expanded with the addition of the 13-hectare Château Montalivet vineyard, essentially adjacent to Floridène.
