"If God forbade drinking, why would he have made Wine so good"

"Si Dieu avait défendu de boire, aurait-il fait ce vin aussi bon"

Cardinal Richelieu, Armand Jean du Plessis (1585-1642)

At Château Richelieu we believe that the famous Cardinal and his family knew what they were doing when in 1632 they were looking to acquire some of the best terroir in France and found this property in Fronsac, overlooking the Dordogne river in optimal South exposition. Our mission today is to express this wonderfull terroir in the best possible way to savour.
