Situated in the hills on the right bank of the Dordogne River, near the village of Monfaucon, Château de la Mallevielle, an attractive manor house with red brick tracery, was once a staging post between St Emilion and the Périgord.
Edouard Féret refers to Mallevielle’s harvest and its eight barrels of red wine in his 1903 work.
The vineyard’s 30 hectares have been cultivated by Philippe and Hélène Biau since 1983

In 1997, the Biau Vineyard was created, and Thierry and Nadia moved in, bringing seven hectares of vine to Montravel in the commune of Fougueyrolles.

If by any chance, you find yourself in the vicinity, do not fail to visit them. They will gladly have you taste their production, but that is not the most important, since you know it is good. The most important will be the privileged moment when, with simple words, they ask you to share and catch a glimpse of all the magic of wine and the love that one can bring to it.

The continuity of Château de Mallevieille will be assured in the respect of tradition and know-how.
