Château Chambert

Producer description of "Château Chambert"

The winery is located in the municipality of Floressas, 100 kilometres north of Toulouse in the Lot department in south-west France. The oldest mention of a "Chambert" vineyard dates back to 1100. The domaine has had a chequered history: in 1690 a Mademoiselle de La Valette, in 1810 a Lathese family and in 1870 a Bataille family came into possession of the estate. In 1870, most of the vineyards were devastated by phylloxera. After the death of the owner, General Bataille (1862-1914), during the First World War, the 300 hectares of vines were completely destroyed. It was not until 1973 that Marc Delgoulet made a new start by revitalising the best plots. In 1994, his son Joel took over the business. It was finally taken over by Philippe Lejeune in November 2007.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
