Vineyard with pool Saint-Ciers-de-Canesse (33)

One hour from Bordeaux by car, nestled within the prestigious wine-growing region of Côtes-de-Bourg,a vineyard with its chateau, wine storehouse, outbuildings, grounds and swimming pool. Surrounded by vineyards, the property extends over more than 20 hectares and contains six buildings: a chateau with a surface area of 450 m², a wine storehouse, a hangar dedicated to storing and labelling wine, a garage and a boutique area, holiday cottages and a large storage building waiting to be restored. Accessible via a small country road that winds through the vineyards, the estate was built over the course of successive eras. Recognised as a winery since 1868, the chateau’s back portion, in a 17th-century style, is the oldest part of the house, while the eastern façade resembles manor houses from the beginning of the 19th century. The architectural composition is certainly the consequence of a series of renovations, expansions or modernisations undertaken over the course of the 19th century. The current owner modernised the estate and personally oversaw the renovation of the wine storehouse and main dwelling. They also completely overhauled the methods for maintaining and growing the vines used to produce their wines.
