CANOEING ON THE DORDOGNE

Now the full heat of Summer has past, September & October is a fantastic time of year to visit this spectacular region. The vineyards are busy with the excitement of bringing in the harvest, the vendange; the grapes that will be used to create 2017 vintages.

Blue skies and still air is the perfect accompaniment to taking a vintage wooden canoe on the river in the early evening. One of the privileges of living here is the ability to do this on a whim. Of course, you too can share that experience… Château Living would be delighted to host you.

BRINGING IN THE HARVEST

The vendange is always an exciting time, when the culmination of the year’s hard work tending the vines comes to fruition and the skilful task of winemaking begins. Here’s some pictures of the 2016 bumper harvest at Château Magnifique.
