Chateau de France 1 Items

The Chateau de France was built on the foundations of an ancient manor house underneath which still remains its original arched cellars. The cellars and the house date to the end of the 17th century and were constructed by Philippe Decoud.

Chateau de France boasts all three of the territorial conditions needed to create a "Grand Vin": the soil, the sub-soil and the slopes. Its 40 hectares of vineyards, 36 of which are planted with red grapes, spread out over the most elevated plateau of Léognan.

The Chateau de France currently grows 4 hectares of white grapes. Bernard Thomassin redevelopped this forgotten vineyard in 1985, planting it with Sauvignon and Sémillon grapes, thereby reclaiming the tradition of the land for producing both red and white wines
