Independent Winegrowers
Afin de perpétuer la production du vin français et partager son savoir-faire, PWS aide une centaine de producteurs locaux en France, à aller au-delà des frontières. Ces producteurs sont sources de diversité, puisqu’ils contrôlent la production du vin, de la culture des raisins à la vinification. Le choix de rester indépendant ou non se justifie par leur volonté de rester fidèle à leurs valeurs. L’histoire de la famille dépasse souvent le produit lui-même.
Example of an independent winegrower: Château Pardaillan
Château Pardaillan was built in the 15th century in the midst of the 100 Years' War. At a time when the British and the French were fighting over land. Château Pardaillan has managed to remain profoundly French.
A few centuries later, famous personalities such as Montaigne came here to rest. The famous philosopher of the Enlightenment used to visit his niece, Sainte Jeanne de Lestonnac, who chose the superb château, steeped in history, as her home.
In 1909, the Roquefeuil family took over ownership of the estate, which has remained in the family for 4 generations.
In the family, we say: "It's an honour to take over and a duty of respect towards family history".
Château Pardaillan is a prestigious residence, with a noble-hearted owner, dear to PWS, courageous and humble, which you will find in the character of his nectar.
