CHÂTEAU DE TERREFORT-QUANCARD

See another wine
Bordeaux Supérieur Aged in oak barrels The origins of Château de Terrefort-Quancard go back into the mists of time. Part of the building dates from before the 16th century. It has been owned by the Quancard family since 1891. The Château de Terrefort-Quancard, situated on the highest point of the hillside of the commune of Cubzac-les-Ponts, looks out over the Dordogne, between the Côtes de Bourg and the Côtes de Fronsac. The vines of the Château, straddling the famous « 45th parallel », benefit from a moderately warm, humid climate, with masses of sunshine and mild winters. It enjoys a micro-climate ideally suited to wine growing.
