This property is presented by Knight Frank SNC.

Introducing a superb opportunity to acquire an exceptional residential and wine estate in the Blaye - Cotes de Bordeaux region, with approximately 35 ha of land located in two prime sites. Situated less than 10 km apart, the two properties offer multiple dwellings, including a striking historic Chateau, established vineyards and modern winemaking facilities.

Principal property:

Occupying an elevated position on the edge of a picturesque village, the property covers approximately 17.5 ha, with almost 13 ha of organically farmed vineyards. At the heart of the property is an exceptional 18th-century Chateau, complemented by flexible guest accommodation.

The Chateau, believed to have been built circa 1790, is set within a large park with mature trees and wonderful views of the surrounding vineyard. Renovated to a very high standard throughout, it comprises over 550 sq m of elegant, well-proportioned living spaces arranged over 2 floors. There is a formal entrance hall leading to 3 generous reception rooms, perfect for family living and entertaining, and a large open-plan kitchen. The ground floor is completed by a large bedroom with en suite bathroom, a children's playroom, a laundry and a wine cellar. On the second floor, there are 3 large double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a further 2 bedrooms and a family bathroom. To the rear is an enclosed, walled garden with a heated swimming pool and access to various outbuildings, including a fully-equipped gym, garage and boiler room.

Additional accommodation includes a guest cottage with 2 bedrooms and a private swimming pool, a second 2 bedroom guest cottage and 3 beautifully crafted contemporary wood cabins set within the vines, each with a bedroom, bathroom and living space.

The vineyard extends to approximately 13 ha in a single continuous holding, situated on gently sloping, south-east facing land. Plantings are predominantly Merlot, complemented by younger parcels of Mourvedre, Semillon, Colombard and Chenin Blanc. The vineyard is certified organic, reflecting a strong commitment to environmentally responsible viticulture.

The estate produces a distinctive range of wines, from classic Bordeaux-style Merlot blends to premium oak-aged cuvees, a sulphur-free wine, a dry white blend, rose, Blanc de Noir and Pet'Nat. The wines are estate-bottled and benefit from an established reputation and international distribution. The modern winemaking facilities cover approximately 500 sq m & include a stainless-steel and concrete vat room, a barrel ageing cellar, a bottle store and a tasting room/boutique.

Secondary property:

The second property covers approximately 17.9 ha, with just over 11 ha of vines located on the edge of the historic town of Blaye. The main house, currently operated as a gite, is a charming, fully renovated property of approximately 280 sq m, offering light, spacious living areas, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a private garden, a heated plunge pool and an outdoor shower.

The vineyard extends over 11 ha on predominantly clay-limestone soils. Established plantings of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec have been complemented by more recent introductions of Roussanne, Semillon and Chardonnay, offering additional diversity and longer-term production potential.

The estate produces a diverse range of wines, from classic Bordeaux-style blends intended for early enjoyment to more concentrated cuvees matured in large oak barrels, as well as sulphur-free wines, dry whites and a rose.

A recent addition to the modern winemaking cellars is a micro distillery, equipped with an Arnold Holstein Copper Pot Still, producing whisky and gin.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an exceptional, turnkey residential estate, together with fully operational Bordeaux vineyards, offering significant lifestyle, commercial and long-term investment appeal within one of Bordeaux's sought-after Right Bank locations.

The estates enjoy a peaceful rural setting while remaining well connected to Bordeaux city, its international airport, TGV station and major transport routes.
