The Vineyard

This represents a hassle-free way of vineyard management, with the advantage of having your own label!

Set in the highly regarded appellation of Montravel in Bergerac, the region is noted for its reds, rosés and dry whites.

Also included on the estate is a two-bedroom caretaker’s apartment, and a detached house on the edge of the plot which requires renovation.

With refurbishments having taken around 9 years, no expense has been spared in bringing this wondrous property a new lease of life. The stunning décor alone took two years of working full-time with a distinguished local artist.
