About Winery
Château de Ferrand's story begins in 1702 with Elie de Betoulaud, a lawyer, courtier, and philanthropist, who built the estate in the Saint-Émilion region of Bordeaux. Inspired by Louis XIV and Versailles, Betoulaud's chateau reflected the elegance and grandeur of the Sun King's palace. Ferrand remained in the family for centuries, with Baron Bich and later his daughter Pauline Bich Chandon-Moët inheriting and developing the estate. Today, the chateau is a testament to its historical charm and modern winemaking, boasting organic certification and a unique blend of historical preservation and innovative practices.
