Presentation
"The property is located on three parts of land; the bridge (pont), the path (chemin), the mill (moulin), that gave their name to the Château. The house used to be a mill. I always wanted to become a winegrower, even when I was eight years old, even though my parents were not working in this branch. It’s a passion. I inherited my grandparent’s house in 1990, with 1,50 ha of vines; today I have 17 ha and have just been sustainable agriculture certified. From my vines, I have the second highest point of view, just after the Launay hill. The road of St Jacques de Compostelle passes just in front of my house. My goal is to pass on my heritage to my two daughters, Emma & Alexia to whom I have just dedicated my last wine." Christophe Betin
