GROUNDS
Set over two levels, the chateau is set in the heart of the property overlooking the main lines of vines. To the rear of the chateau is a backdrop of wooded hillside, on top of which is the a plateau where there are additional vines. The plateau is accessed via a track that climbs up through the woods, off which is an intriguing set of tunnels hewn into the rock from where the stone was quarried. Currently locked up, these could be a lot of fun - if only for the odd party held in the wonderful main chamber.
