Overview

Bought by Guillaume Halley from the Moueix family in 2001, Château de La Dauphine has undergone a complete renovation starting with a new, state of the art wine-making facility. In 2012, a move towards 100% organic farming techniques has vastly improved the quality of the vintages, and they are now experimenting with biodynamic farming as well.
