The Lisennes estate is located on the edge of the vast Entre-deux-Mers plateau where valleys, Romanesque churches and Carthusian monasteries meet. Polyculture and orchards prevailed for a while, before being gradually replaced by viticulture. A long line of men and women write the story of Lisennes. The illustrious and first official owner was Étienne de Baritault, lawyer at the court of the Aydes de Guienne, who acquired it in the early eighteenth century. The domain included metairies, bordeaux, pastures, woods and vines. The little daughter of Étienne de Baritault, a young lady from Beaumalle, and her husband, the Marquis de Rabar, inherit Lisennes.

After 39 years of exploitation, between periods of reconstruction, war and economic crisis, William Taylor finally sold the castle of Lisennes to Jean-Léon Soubie, August 31, 1938.
Jean-Léon Soubie takes back with his wife Marie Gabrielle 82 hectares of polyculture. The presence of several cement tanks attests to the importance given to viticulture by William Taylor. For the first time, a family would durably mark the history of the estate.
