The vineyards of Château Frédignac have been cultivated for four generations in this unique climate influenced by the Gironde estuary. In 1919, Jean-Marie L’Amouller, a Breton stopping in Blaye, fell in love with both the region and a local woman. This marked the beginning of the Château Frédignac vineyard. In 2012, nearly 100 years after the first vines were planted, Vincent and Ludivine took over the estate. Both graduates in environmental sciences, they are gradually transforming the vineyard while remaining true to the values that built Château Frédignac: respect for the land and the production of authentic wines.
