History The wine estate was probably founded already in the 17th century by the Montalier family, and shares its early history with that of Ch teau Romer du Hayot . In the year 1800, Ferdinand Auguste de Lur Saluces married a descendant of the founders, Marie Th r se Gabrielle de Montalier, which for a time made the estate part of the wine empire of the Lur Saluces family.

In 1855, the year of the classification of Bordeaux wine, the estate was named Ch teau Romer, and was classified as a second growth. In 1881, due to inheritance, the estate was divided in several smaller lots that were passed down to members of the Myre Mory family. However, the different lots were managed together by one of the inheritors, Comtesse Beaurepaire Louvagny. In 1911, about convert 5 ha of the estate was sold by Myre Mory to Roger Farges, and this land forms the basis of the current Ch teau Romer which stayed in the Farges family for the next century. Th remaining convert 9 ha to convert 10 ha were sold in 1937 to Xavier Dauglade and Madame du Hayot, forming Ch teau Romer du Hayot . Later, the Farges family did not put much emphasis on winemaking. From 1976, the remaining vineyard area had Andr du Hayot as a tenant farmer, who vinified it at his own property. In 2002, Anne Farges restarted winemaking at Ch teau Romer, with the 2002 vintage the first to reappear under the ch teau s own name. ref n ... more details

It is native to China , where it is a critically endangered local endemic ecology endemic in Chongqing Municipality in eastern Sichuan . It is a small or medium sized tree, reaching possibly 20 m tall, though no trees of this size are currently known.

The conifer cone cones are oval, green ripening brown, 5 8 mm long and 3 4.2 mm broad opening to 7 mm broad , with 8 10 overlapping scales. It was first described in 1899 from specimens collected by the France French botanist Paul Guillaume Farges in 1892 and 1900, but was not seen again thereafter, despite many searches, for almost 100 years and was presumed to be extinct due to over cutting for its valuable scented wood . A small number of specimens were however rediscovered in 1999, growing on very inaccessible steep ridges close to or at the same site where Farges had first found it.

The sister ship s cost 4,500 apiece and were sent to the Gulf of Mexico to conduct counter piracy patrols. Alabama was assigned to the Mobile Squadron and Louisiana assigned to the New Orleans Squadron . Sometime in August 1819, Alabama was temporarily assigned to New Orleans to help thwart the pirate incidents in those waters with the Louisiana . On August 31, the two ships were sailing the Gulf off southern Florida when they sighted the schooner Bravo pirate ship Bravo . The Americans gave chase and eventually came within range. Bravo resisted and a brief gunnery duel occurred, then the Americans boarded the enemy. The pirates were captured. Jean La Farges commanded the suspected privateer, he was a lieutenant of Jean Lafitte .
