Château de la Dauphine

The 53-hectare estate combines clay and limestone soils with advanced winemaking facilities to produce high-quality Merlot and Cabernet Franc wines.

The castle's foundation dates to Charlemagne's era, when a fortress was established on these hills before becoming a noble residence in the 18th century.

The estate maintains strong connections with Versailles Palace, reflecting its status among France's distinguished wine-producing properties of royal heritage.

Visitors can schedule wine tours and tastings from Monday to Sunday, exploring both the castle grounds and the organic vineyard production methods.

During the three-week harvest period, 60 seasonal workers carefully collect grapes across the estate's precisely managed biodynamic vineyards.
