Château de La Rivière, Medieval castle and wine estate in La Rivière, France
The limestone castle stands on a hilltop overlooking the Dordogne River, surrounded by 65 hectares of vineyards, gardens, and forest land.
Emperor Charlemagne ordered the construction of a fort on this site in 769, while the current structure dates from 1577 under Gaston de L'Isle.
The estate produces prestigious Bordeaux wines, with 53 separate parcels growing Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec grape varieties.
The château functions as both a wine production facility and a hotel, offering visitors accommodations among the vineyards of the Fronsac appellation.
The property contains an extensive network of underground limestone quarries that provide natural temperature control for wine storage.
