On the side of the Mound of Fronsac, above the valley of the Isle and surrounded by 20 hectares of vineyards on hillsides, this fortified castle at the end of the 14th century takes its current appearance during the Renaissance two centuries later. Celebrated by Ronsard, he saw the brightest minds parade: Montaigne, La Boétie, Rousseau, and many others... 120 years ago, Senator Guillaume Chastenet de Castaing entered the scene. He was followed by his son Jacques, an illustrious historian of the Académie Française, and by his grandson Antoine. Since 1983, the family winegrower adventure has continued with the fourth generation, that of Constance and her husband Stéphane Droulers. In the same quest for uncompromising quality, respecting nature as closely as possible, and surrounded by the wise advice of Hubert de Bouärd, the two spouses produce, on the estate of this noble castle steeped in history, modern wines, balanced and respectful of the magic of the great historical terroir of Fronsac.
