直至2015年，Chateau De La Cree被美國頂級酒莊Domaine Serene Winery收購。現時酒莊的釀酒師與 Domaine Serene 的釀酒團隊緊密合作，確保葡萄酒質量無可挑剔。
現時25英畝的葡萄園座落於優質的產區，包括Pommard、Volnay、Meursault、Puligny-Montrachet、Chassagne-Montrachet、Santenay 和 Maranges，其中40%屬於一級園 (Premier Cru)。所有葡萄園都採用最小的人為干預，以呈現風土，並確保土壤和植物的健康。
Santenay位於Chassagne Montrachet的南面，是布爾岡著名的“Cote D'or”黃金山丘地區最南端的村莊。Santenay Premier Cru混合了Santenay Premier Cru“Gravières”和Santenay “Passe-Temps”，此區的Pinot Noir質素極好。
