It is quiet, only the birds are chirping. An enchanted forest surrounds the small castle perched in the middle of a hill. In front of it a fairy-tale garden and vines, endless rows of vines... but we are not in a fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm, but in the heart of the Bordelais. And there is no evil stepmother here either, but only wine. For a long time it was quiet around the beautiful estate. But in 2014, the star oenologist Michel Rolland came along as the perfect «prince» to bring the château out of its slumber. Kissed awake with a wine whose unbeatable price-performance ratio makes you sit up and take notice. Sounds too good to be true? It gets even better: the top oenologist has not failed to notice that the soils here in the commune of Saint-Quentin de Caplong are of a similar nature to those in the famous Saint-Émilion, just 30 kilometers away. In other words, the perfect terroir for Merlot, which is why some 50 hectares of vines have been newly planted. In addition, the farm converted to organic in 2017. We are honestly extremely stunned by the relationship between quality, prestige, sustainability and price. But there has always been something mysterious surrounding the château, which once belonged to the chief gardener of Sun King Louis XIV. For example, a cellar door with an underground tunnel leading to the village church. Stuff for fairy tales, isn't it?
