Château Du Parc is an estate located in the Saint-Émilion appellation in Bordeaux, France, one of the oldest and most prestigious wine producing regions in all of Bordeaux. This world-renowned area is known for the region’s finest wines due to its diverse terroir.
“At Château Du Parc, we strive for excellences by hand picking only the finest grapes that produce the highest quality wine to ensure our wine reflect the true essence of the appellation. To the south, the vineyards are mostly gravel and sand based while the north consists of clay and limestone soils. The vineyard’s terroir creates a natural drainage system; this, coupled with the perfect exposure to the sun, produces perfect ripening conditions for our grape varieties.”
