Château Bizard: a major signature of Grignan-les-Adhémar, in the southern Rhône Valley
Château Bizard - Grignan-les-Adhémar, Drôme provençale (Allan)
Château Bizard is a family estate of the Grignan-les-Adhémar appellation, in Allan, in the Drôme provençale, founded in 1862 and certified HVE level 3.
On the limestone slopes of Allan, swept by the mistral, Château Bizard has grown the great southern Rhône grape varieties since 1862, certified HVE level 3. Structured reds, luminous whites, refined rosés and cellar cuvées: distinctive Grignan-les-Adhémar wines, to discover direct on Avenue des Vins.
On the slopes of Allan, in the Drôme provençale, Château Bizard stands as an essential reference of the Grignan-les-Adhémar appellation. Here, the landscape speaks loud and clear: limestone soils, generous sunshine, a steady mistral. Natural elements that shape precise, expressive wines deeply rooted in their terroir.
Founded in 1862, the estate has remained in the hands of the same family. This continuity gives a clear vision: to understand the land, respect its balances and produce honest wines, with no excess or artifice.

A viticulture guided by common sense and living soils
At Château Bizard, every choice in the vineyard is designed to encourage natural balance. The rows are planted north–south, allowing excellent ventilation thanks to the mistral.
The concrete result: healthier grapes, measured interventions, even ripeness and great aromatic purity.
The estate is certified HVE level 3, a mark of sustainable, measured and coherent viticulture, where environmental performance goes hand in hand with the pursuit of quality.
The Rhône grape varieties in their most sincere expression
The vineyard showcases the great grape varieties of the Rhône Valley: Syrah, Grenache noir, Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache blanc and Cinsault.
On these limestone soils, they give rise to structured, elegant reds, aromatic, luminous whites, and dry, refined rosés, always marked by freshness, tension and the legibility of the terroir.
Precise winemaking, at the service of the wine's expression
The cellar is organised around three separate vat rooms for the reds, the whites and the rosés. The stainless-steel and concrete tanks, all temperature-controlled, ensure clean, well-managed fermentations.
The underground ageing cellar naturally enjoys a stable temperature and ideal humidity. A calm environment, suited to long, precise ageing that never rushes the wine.
Barrel ageing, a pillar of the Château Bizard style
Some cuvées benefit from carefully measured ageing in barrels. It brings fine, satiny tannins, spicy and slightly smoky notes, and a harmonious, lasting structure.
A goldsmith's work, always at the service of balance.
