CHATEAU VIOLETTE

HISTORICAL : The origin of Château Violette dates back to the very beginning of the 20th century. Mr Bégu, a retired gendarme, acquired a few hectares of hybrid vines at auction. His son, Pierre Fernand, took over in the 1950s and replanted the whole vineyard in the following decade.

Joëlle and Monique, his two daughters, took over in 2002. The name Violette was born from Joëlle's memories as a young girl, who in the spring picked violets between the rows of vines.
