1985年，亦是為推動酒莊發展，男爵還通過購買法國其它酒莊以及國外葡萄園而成功地擴大了拉菲堡的發展空間。在被男爵購買的酒莊中，最出名的要數波爾多的拉莫內特酒莊了。

Chateau Ramonet—New comer via changes in the red wine circle
拉莫內特酒莊座落于加侖河與多爾多涅河之間的波爾多地區最廣的葡萄園。在1855年的波爾多葡萄酒官方分級中，它被列為15個二級莊園之一。拉莫內特酒莊最早建立于19世紀，歸管于夏穆魯家族近100年。這片統一完整的美麗莊園，150年來持續不斷的出產着在波爾多地區最受歡迎的葡萄酒。拉莫內特酒莊自埃理克男爵掌管以來，幾經蛻變成長，釀造出的葡萄美酒，更加芬醇細膩，呈現嶄新風貌，質量已達頂級第二等之水平。
Chateau Ramonet is the broadest wine yard situated in Bordeaux between Garonne River and Bordogne River. In the official claffisication in Bordeaux in 1855, it ranked one of the 15 chateaux in the second class. Chateau Ramonet was first established in the 19th century, run by the Charmolues for nearly 100 years. This complete and uniform and beautiful land has produced the most popular wine in Bordeaux for 150 years. Chateau Ramonet has changed several times since it was purchased by Baron Eric. The wine brewed is more mellow and delicate, with a new look taking on and the quality reaching the second top level.
