Description

Château d’Orignac, a family home, has been producing grapes for at least 800 years. Over the successive centuries all its occupants have been deeply involved with the spirit of the property, which has given it the timeless and serene atmosphere it has today. The first known records of the estate, indicate the year 1200, when Ythier, Orignac horseman and squire of the neighborhood married Sybille, Hélies’s daughter, squire of Virollet. The building took on its present day aspect when it was modernised by Monsieur de Saint-Légier in about 1840 and surrounded by formal avenue, gardens and woodlands in order to make “a more agreable dwelling place”. This was according to records dated 1864.
