Description
The Château Thénac estate is situated to the east of Bordeaux in the heart of the Périgord region, famed for its picturesque countryside, medieval castles, fine wines and black truffles.
The estate is located in the hamlet of Thénac and comprises in total almost 200 hectares.
The house is surrounded by rolling vineyards as far as the eye can see but the estate also includes plum orchards, ancient woodlands, lakes and farmland.
The property includes a small private Roe deer park as well as sheep, goats and other animals. The lakes host a menagerie of ducks and other wildfowl including a pair of rare black swans – the inspiration behind the label of the eau de vie made from our own plum orchards.
The principal parts of the Château are built on the ruins of a Benedictine Priory dating as far back as the 12th century (1109).
