CHATEAU PIERRE DE MONTIGNAC
(Winery in Bordeaux)
Provides 2 wine tastings and winery visit from €10.00
Château Pierre de Montignac's story began in the 1960s when Pierre and Paulette Sallette purchased the farm to produce milk and cultivate cereals. However, in 1984, with the introduction of dairy quotas and the complexities of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), they shifted their focus to cattle for meat production. Pierre sadly passed away in 1987.
In 1998, their son José Sallette, along with his wife Lucette, decided to take a new direction by planting their first vineyards. In honor of his father, José named the estate "Château Pierre de Montignac." Their son Romain, born in 1983, grew up learning the art of viticulture, working closely with his father. The early years were challenging, with frost affecting their ability to harvest. The first successful vintage came in 1991.
In 2003, Lucette expanded the family business by opening two guest rooms, offering a wine tourism experience, with the support of José and Romain. That same year, after completing his studies in viticulture and oenology, Romain joined the family estate full-time.
After the sudden passing of José in 2015, Romain took over the management of the estate. Following in his father's footsteps, he has continued to lead with ambition, maintaining the family tradition. In 2020, Romain’s wife Marie, who holds qualifications from WSET and a degree in Wine, Culture, and Wine Tourism, joined him, allowing Lucette to enjoy her well-deserved retirement.
Romain and Marie are dedicated to carrying on the family legacy, working passionately to develop the estate, its wines, and its wine tourism offerings. Today, the estate includes five guest rooms, two cottages (one of which is accessible to people with reduced mobility), a relaxation area with a jacuzzi and sauna, a camper van area, and a venue for events. Future plans may include unique accommodations among the vineyards, offering an even more immersive experience.
