Château de Chantegrive, located in Graves, is not old, certainly not by Bordeaux standards. If you like fairy tales, you will definitely love this one. The story begins in 1966 when Henri & Françoise Lévêque decided to create what would later become the Chateau de Chantegrive!. They were really convinced of the potential of the Graves "terroir"  They were able to realize their dream thanks to the sale of their precious stamp collection to acquire their first 2 HA. So it can also go in Bordeaux.

to acquire their first two hectares. What happened next is a success story, the result of hard work and focused on the future and the new technologies combined with the unconditional need to be mainly present between the vines. Together, Françoise & Henri formed a very dynamic duo, a solid visionary team and above all: a couple of passionate wine lovers. 48 years later and 96 hectares further, the new generation of children has taken over the chateau de Chantegrive. The five children now manage it with their mother and Marie Hélène Lévêque continues the work of her parents with a dynamic passion. Since 2006, they have been working with Hubert de Boüard, owner of Château Angélus, who advises the team on vinification.
