We've mentioned some California and Oregon
wineries for sale before but the chance to own a French grand cru chateau is rare indeed.
Decanter reports that the St-Emilion grand cru classé
Château Soutard is for sale. The Chateau has been owned by the des Ligneris family since 1836 and is worth around
35 million euros. It sounds like the family isn't any great hurry to rid themselves of the vineyard but the process is
definitely underway. While some French vinters may be facing trouble, houses with a long history, like Chateau Soutard
will hopefully always thrive.
