Château Tronquoy-Lalande

Château Tronquoy-Lalande was built in the 18th century according to plans by architect Victor Louis, who also designed the Grand Théâtre in Bordeaux and the Palais Royal in Paris. Before it was acquired by Jean and Anne-Marie Arlette Castéja in 1968, the château was occupied successively by the Germans, the Americans... and summer camps! For forty years, Mrs. Castéja has been working to restore the estate and make the most of its exceptional gravelly soil. In 2006, it was Martin Bouygues’ turn to fall under the spell of Château Tronquoy-Lalande’s charm and traditional character.

The vineyards of Château Tronquoy-Lalande stretch across a terroir of deep gravel with a small amount of clay, and cover 30 hectares of vines, averaging 30 years of age.
