In an announcement, Fourmeaux stated, "Jess and Barbara, our big neighbors with whom we always had (a) great relationship and respect, have been trying to buy our property for a long time. We resisted as long as we could." He said that the price, combined with other internal factors, made Jackson's most recent offer "One we could not refuse."

The Fourmeaux will stay at the property until next spring, and the couple is still in the process of making plans. The Fourmeaux also own Gravity Hills Winery in Paso Robles, Calif. Fourmeaux said his winery staff will remain with the Chateau Potelle business.
Jackson Family Wines owns the adjacent Veeder Peak vineyard. In a statement, Jess Jackson said that the acquisition "Will complement our other outstanding estate vineyards. We believe rare mountain vineyards such as this are capable of producing great wines."
