The Côtes de Duras wine chateau Château La Grave Béchade offers self-catering holiday home accommodation in South-West France.
Stay in an elegant French country Chateau on a wine estate in the Côtes de Duras near Baleyssagues (47 Lot-et-Garonne, Nouvelle Aquitaine). The 5 bedrooms are spacious and full of charm, providing rest and privacy. The chateau offers a private swimming pool and tennis court. South-facing and composed of three lounge-dining rooms and five bedrooms, the residence forms one elegant unit in perfect harmony with the surrounding hills.
“Discover all the cachet of the French art of living here. With its chimneys and billiard table, the living room creates a warm atmosphere.” Fully-equipped kitchen and free wifi.
This is an area popular with ex-pat Brits and is within easy reach of Bergerac (vineyards and airport) and Saint-Emilion. There is a castle in Duras which is worth visiting.
The wines produced here are red and white. The red is made from 70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. “Vermilion colour with ruby tints. complex nose of ripe fruit and spices. wide mouth with plenty of sweetness, fine tannins and silky. persistent and well balanced finish on notes slightly woody.”
The white wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc – the area is best known for its pure Côtes de Duras Sauvignon: “Clear yellow colour with green tints, floral nose with peach and apricot. “
Close by are the vineyards of Bergerac – we can recommend Chateau Grinou for a visit!
