"Masburel is an historic castle, built in 1740 by the consul to King Louis XV. Recognising the richness of soil, he promptly ordered the planting of vines on the south-facing slopes. For the next 50 years, the castle remained home to favoured royal administrators. With the French Revolution the castle was saved by becoming a wine making estate and over the centuries the wine made in the area came under the appellation Montravel - producing the top Bergerac grand crus wines."
"Current owners Chris Walker and Irma Lazickiene have spent the last few years bringing the castle back to life after a decade of it "going to sleep" as they put it. Their hard work in the vineyards has resulted in the production of a range of superb red and white wines and a raft of awards. Sweep up the treelined avenue to the honey-coloured Chateau Masburel and find a truly special place to stay. After a warm welcome, settle in and... relax."
Chateau Masburel sits in Dordogne amid vineyards and serves as a working wine domain offering B&B rooms and a luxury gîte. The château was built in 1740 and vines were planted on south-facing slopes, leading the estate to become part of the Montravel appellation producing top Bergerac grand crus. Current owners Chris Walker and Irma Lazickiene restored the estate, revitalized the vineyards, and now produce award-winning red and white wines. Accommodation includes luxurious ensuite rooms with antique furnishings and a beautifully furnished gîte for up to four, both with vineyard views. Visitors can enjoy breakfast on the terrace, cellar tours and tastings, peaceful gardens, and walks along the tree-lined avenue.
