The Thomassin family is one of the oldest owners of the Pessac-Léognan appellation. Château de France, located near Bordeaux in the Graves region, is emblematic of the Pessac-Léognan appellation. It was taken over in 1971 by Bernard Thomassin, who restored the estate to restore its former glory. The 40-hectare family estate in the Pessac-Léognan AOC includes 36 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for red wine production and 4 hectares of Sauvignon and Sémillon for white wine production. The Château de France red and Château de France white wines regularly receive international acclaim.
The estate boasts a unique terroir: the Ferbos lieu-dit, typical of this Graves region, and—more confidentially—a plot aptly named "Coquillat," which is riddled with fossils dating back 19 million years.

Alcohol abuse is dangerous for health. To consume with moderation.
