The winemaker

The elegant Château Grand Jour was built in 1763 on the foundations of a former residence dating back to the reign of Louis XIV. This sumptuous building, typical of the great wine châteaux of the period, belonged to the de Lavergne, de Mirande de Peyredoulle and de Lachassaigne families. In 1830, the son of the great aristocrats Jean Castanet and Marie Marcès inherited a substantial fortune and numerous plots of land. Following disagreements between the Lavergne, Peyredoulle and Lachassaigne families, who were co-owners of the 60-hectare château, it was sold to Pierre Castanet. It remained in this influential Bourgeais family for many decades. Pierre Castanet subsequently carried out major repairs and extensions to the château and vineyard. With the help of renowned oak barrel maker Alphonse Gaignerot, the final construction work and equipping of the château was completed. By enlarging the vineyard, Pierre Castanet gave Château Grand Jour even more vitality. In the early 20th century, the château attracted many artists thanks to its unique, majestic architecture. Many famous French films were shot here, starting in 1981 with Jacques Doniol-Valcroze's TV movie "Les fiancées de l'Empire", followed by "Les filles du Maître de Chai" in 1996, starring Sophie De La Rochefoucauld. It was the location for the TV movie "La bicyclette bleue" with Laetitia Casta in 2000, and for the saga "La Maison des Rocheville" in 2010.
