Château De France Pessac Leognan

The Chateau de France was built on the foundations of an ancient manor house underneath which still remain its original arched cellars. Jean-Henri Lacoste, a businessman involved in furniture industry, owned and managed the property for 32 years. It was he, in fact who created Chateau de France as it is today. Following its purchase in 1862, he spread the word about the 25 hectare property, as yet unknown as Chateau de France, amongst buyers of quality vintages including Feret, who included the property in his later works of the vineyards in Bordeaux. The 19th century also saw the property transformed as seemed to be the trend amongst the owners of manor houses and vineyards. With these extra efforts and refurbishments, several of the properties in the area began to be refered to as « Chateau ». Jean-Henri Lacoste affected a modest change to the Chateau de France, replacing its wings with independent pavillions and adding a second floor to the existing structure.
