La Famille Lafitte with Chateau La Bastide

The Château La Bastide was built during the Hundred Year’s War in 1472 and used as a refuge for the residents of neighboring villages. The Château is located on the highest point in the village of Cocumont. It was completely rebuilt in 1425 after it had been destroyed by fire in 1721 and used as seigneurial residence until the Revolution. The Lafitte family became owner in 1943 with only 5 hectares of land. In 1962 , it is the second Lafitte generation who took over the property with 12 hectares including 6 of vines. In 1965, the Lafitte family joined the wine cooperative with the aim to bring the totality of its production and never left it.

The third Lafitte generation settled down in 1988 and extend again the familial property with the purchase of 10 hectares more in 1990.
