CHASSAGNOUX Père & Fille

CHASSAGNOUX Father & Daughter – Château Renard: a family and terroir story in Fronsac

At Château Renard, wine is not a product. It is a legacy.
Since 1955, four generations of the Chassagnoux family have crafted sincere wines rooted in the terroirs of Fronsac and Bordeaux Supérieur, guided by the same philosophy: staying faithful to nature, to the landscape, and to a sense of balance and authenticity.

Here, there is no standardization and no trend-driven winemaking. Each cuvée is designed to express its origin, with generosity, elegance and a true sense of identity.

Authentic terroirs for character-driven wines

The vineyards of Château Renard benefit from privileged locations, ideal for slow and balanced grape ripening. This natural mastery of time allows the wines to develop a strong sense of typicity, where fruit, structure and freshness coexist in harmony.

Fronsac brings depth and tension, while Bordeaux Supérieur offers a more approachable and generous expression. Two complementary identities, united by the same commitment to quality.

All bottling is carried out exclusively at the estate, reflecting the trust built with wine lovers and ensuring full control at every stage, from vine to glass.

A concrete environmental commitment, long before certifications

At Château Renard, environmental responsibility is not a marketing argument—it is a long-standing practice.

The soils are carefully worked, the vines are observed rather than forced, and biodiversity is actively encouraged. Hedgerows planted for beneficial wildlife, a natural pond fed by a spring for migratory birds, nesting box projects… the estate is part of a living, coherent ecosystem.
