Our Heritage
Roots That Run
Generations Deep
Château Noire was founded in 1847 when the Marchand family recognized the extraordinary potential of the sun-drenched limestone slopes overlooking the Dordogne valley. For six generations, we have honoured a singular conviction: great wine is not made — it is grown, patiently, by the land itself.
Our 42-hectare estate practices sustainable viticulture, allowing native grasses to flourish between vine rows, encouraging biodiversity, and disturbing the soil as little as possible. Each parcel is hand-harvested at dawn, when the cool night air preserves the fragile aromas that define our terroir.
