Bordeaux - Château Canadonne: 18th Century Vineyard Estate

This bourgeois estate, originally a vineyard property dating back to the 18th century, spans 34 hectares, including 18 hectares of vines (12 hectares currently planted), 13 hectares of woodland at the back of the property, and 3 hectares of parkland.

Originally a Roman farmstead, some ruins still remain on the grounds. The château itself was constructed in 1789 and was once the property of Marquis Philippe Henri de Ségur, the last Minister of War under Louis Xvi and a Marshal of France in 1783, the highest French military distinction.
