Today the third generation of descendants of Baron Le Roy own the property.
It works that way, that some of them are sharing a company running the building and cellars and some owns part of the fields and sell the crop to S.A.R.L Fortia.
Since 2004 Pierre Pastre has been manager. His wife Chantal is a grand child of Baron Le Roy. Until he came to Fortia he had leading positions in the big cemistry firm Hoechst.

Chateau Fortia make wines from 32 ha. AOC Chateauneuf du Pape of which 3 ha are with white varieties.
