“Denis Chilliet, a talented winemaker and winegrower, is at the helm of this renowned château whose origins date back to 1539, and has managed to extract all the richness of this superb terroir… the result will amaze you.” (excerpt from the French wine review).
With our feet firmly planted in the soil, we cultivate our vines, ranging from 5 to 70 years old, planted on magnificent sunny hillsides. We do not seek to interfere with the plant's development, but only to accompany and protect it, promoting soil life and biodiversity, to facilitate the interaction between the vine and its terroir.
From hand-harvested, fully ripe and carefully sorted grapes, the wines are made and aged in a traditional way, to obtain the full expression of their personality.
This former fortified house (originally 16th century) is also a superb guest house.
