Chateau du Pavillon

Château du Pavillon is located in the Canon-Fronsac wine appellation, south of Bordeaux. In 1905, Victor Ponty purchased the winery, which sits in the middle of the vineyard.

The four hectares of south-facing vineyard are planted entirely with Merlot, the family’s favourite grape. The warm, sunny conditions allow the grapes to mature to perfection, creating roundness and balance in flavour. Sustainable and organic processes are used to grow and produce the wine, protecting the fertile Cannon-Fronsac soils from chemicals.

The family still live at the property today, with Michel Ponty producing the wines. He uses the same traditional techniques as his grandfather did 100 years ago.
