Chassagnoux Père & Fille - Château Renard, a story of family and terroir in Fronsac
Château Renard - Chassagnoux Père & Fille
A family estate of Fronsac and Bordeaux Supérieur, shaped since 1955 by four generations of the Chassagnoux family. In organic conversion since 2020, certified HVE level 3 (2018), no herbicide since 1998. Bottled at the château. Reds of character and a generous rosé.
At Château Renard, wine is not a product: it is a transmission. Since 1955, four generations of the Chassagnoux family have been shaping sincere wines, rooted in their terroirs of Fronsac and Bordeaux Supérieur, with an unchanged line of conduct: remaining faithful to nature, to the landscape and to the right taste. Here, no standardisation or passing fashion: each cuvee is designed to express its origin with generosity, elegance and real personality.
Authentic terroirs for wines of character
The vineyards of Château Renard benefit from privileged situations, ideal for a slow, balanced ripening of the grapes. This natural management of time makes it possible to obtain wines of assertive typicity, where fruit, structure and freshness naturally find their balance. The Fronsac terroir brings depth, tension and ageing potential, while Bordeaux Supérieur offers a more accessible, generous expression. Two complementary identities, united by the same demand for quality. Bottling exclusive to the château guarantees perfect control of each step, from vine to glass.

A concrete environmental commitment, even before the labels
At Château Renard, ecology is not a marketing argument, but a long-standing and coherent practice: no herbicide since 1998, an HVE level 3 certification obtained in 2018 and a conversion to organic farming underway since 2020. The soils are worked with care, the vine is observed more than constrained, and biodiversity is actively encouraged: hedges planted for auxiliary fauna, a natural pond fed by a spring for migratory birds, nesting-box projects. The estate evolves within a living, balanced ecosystem.
Wines designed for pleasure and sharing
The wines signed Chassagnoux Père & Fille stand out for their balance and accessibility, without ever giving up depth or identity. Wines made to be opened, shared, discussed and enjoyed without detour. To discover direct from the estate.
