Château Condat

The present Château de Condat takes its origin from a castle built by William the Penitent, Duke of Guyenne.
The lordship of Condat was one of the most important in the region. For a very long time it belonged to the kings of England, who in turn distributed the considerable revenues it produced, either to English lords or to Gascon lords who had remained loyal to them. Son of Edward III, King of England, the Black Prince dated several of his letters from this castle. Du Guesclin, defeated at Navarette by Peter the Cruel and the Black Prince, was imprisoned there (1367). Shortly after the victory of Charles VII over the English at the battle of Castillon (1453), the fortified castle of Condat was entirely destroyed. Only its chapel survived, which can still be admired today, being located outside the fortress.
Recently acquired, this old noble land, which had fallen into oblivion, has regained its lost voice. Located on the gravel ridge that overlooks the Dordogne, this very uniform terroir is the pride of the young winegrower who was able to recognise it.
Remarkably exposed to the south, the gravel reflects the rays of the sun and moon, causing a mirror effect. Drainage is natural. The roots go deep to feed on the trace elements of the subsoil, Quaternary clay gravel, ancient alluvium from the Massif Central.
