Chateau Masburel
Description
Chateau Masburel was founded in 1740 by Jean de Sambellie, Consul of Sainte-Foy to King Louis XV of France, who used the Masburel site to build a chartreuse – a residential Chateau. He promptly planted a vineyard, taking advantage of the favourably south-facing, well-drained slopes. The chateau remained the residence of top royal administrators up until the French revolution when it became an important winemaking estate. The space This suite has views over the courtyard to the vineyards in the distance. It features quality antiques, a queen-size french bed with fine cotton sheets and Siberian goose down pillows. The bathroom has a bath and shower with designer fittings and luxurious Cole and Lewis body products. Everyone who stays at Chateau Masburel is welcome to have a guided tour of the vineyard and winery with an explanation of the wine making processes. At the end of the tour you are welcome to visit the wine tasting rooms to try some of the Chateau's award winning wines. Each bedroom has air conditioning. During your stay Chateau Masburel was bought by Olivia and Neil Donnan in 1997.The main Chateau was returned to its former glory of exposed stone and elegant courtyard and the winery boasted the most modern equipment. Between 1998 and 2003 over one third of the vineyard was replanted with the best quality of classic grape varieties found in this famous and historic wine growing region of France. In 2008, the Donnan family decided to take a well-earned retirement. Over the next 10 years the estate became a sleeping beauty. The winery and vineyards were left slumbering in the Dordoigne countryside until in August 2018, Chris Walker and Irma Lazickiene purchased the property with the aim of bringing it back to life. New equipment is being installed, vineyards are being restored and the aim is to bring new life into the chateau through its wines, tourism and events.
