The Chateau de Landiras is at the heart of the legacy of Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac, foundress of "La Compagnie de Notre-Dame" in 1607. This religious congregation was the first in the history of France to provide free access to education for young ladies. It still holds this role today through hundreds of schools in 27 countries around the world.
Since 2007, a new dynamic is bringing the estate back to life. First, the restructuring of the vineyard has allowed the Chateau de Landiras to be part of some the finest wines in the Graves appellation. Then, a strong effort has been made to enhance the historical heritage of the property and make it accessible to visitors.
Today, the Chateau de Landiras is run by estate owner and architect Michel Pelissie, with the assistance of director Francois Puerta. Michel is passionate about leading the estate with the project of combining architecture and winemaking, while being surrounded by people who share his vision: to give a new life to the Chateau and produce quality wines.
