Château Thénac

3.5
(1 customer reviews)
With a history dating back to the 12th century, Château Thénac bears the same name as the village where it is located in the South-West of France. The estate extends over 200 hectares, and the Château produces two different ranges of red, white and rosé wines in the Bergerac and Côtes de Bergerac appellations. The Shvidler family also takes advantage of the 500 plum trees in the grounds to produce IGP d'Ente brandies. Find out more

The winemaker

Château Thénac's history dates back to the 12th century. Even back then, Benedictine monks recognized the potential of the terroir and built a priory on this very spot. The Protestant uprisings of 1621 led to the destruction of the edifice, before a new château was rebuilt on the ruins. The estate is immense, covering almost 200 hectares of limestone, flint, clay and boulbène soils.

Eventually, the vineyard should account for 35 hectares of the total area of the Château Thénac estate, with 25 hectares planted with red grape varieties and 10 with whites.

Château Thénac offers two wine ranges: Château Thénac and Fleur de Thénac, the château's second wine. Unlike most wineries, Château Thénac doesn't just produce wine on its estate.

The owners enjoy 500 plum trees, which they cultivate to produce IGP d'Ente brandies. What's more, Château Thénac is a true rural environment where flora and fauna share the 200 hectares. Swans, fallow deer, sheep, goats, geese and ducks all live in harmony on the estate.
