About Ch La Freynelle

Producer Story

Château La Freynelle is a 75 hectare estate in the village of Daignac, in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux. In 1789, Jean Barthe settled in the Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux and planted his first vines. For seven generations, Chateau La Freynelle was passed on from father to son. In 1990, Véronique Barthe, the first daughter born into the family since the French Revolution, inherited the family domain.
