Chateau D’eau Sauvignon Blanc
The History
In the beginning of the 20th century, these vineyards were part of a huge estate of
300 hectares (750 acres) belonging to the family of Henry de Montfreid, famous
writer and adventurer. This Domain is situated in the villages of Lespignan and
Colombiers in the south of France. Positioned on a gentle slope, this beautiful
vineyard benefits from a good exposure. Although planted as one unit, it is divided
into several parcels of land where different grape varieties are grown. The white
ones: Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Viognier grow next to the reds: Merlot,
Cabernet-Sauvignon, Syrah, Cinsaultand, since 1995, Pinot Noir.
