It was first used as a summer residence for Louis d’Eyquem, who was related to renowned philosopher Michel Eyquem de Montaigne.
As the owners of this estate since the 20th century, we have restored and expanded the vineyard and completely renovated the Château.

An exceptional location
with breathtaking panoramic views
Located on the right bank of the Gironde estuary, this Côtes de Bourg estate’s first vines were planted by the Romans. A prestigious 17th century mansion, Château Eyquem served as a summer residence for Louis d’Eyquem, who was related to renowned philosopher Michel Eyquem de Montaigne.
Based at the confluence of the Dordogne and Garonne rivers, the château overlooks the Gironde estuary’s magnificent landscape. The microclimate derived from the two nearby rivers works to the advantage of the calcareous clay, slightly silty soil.
As the owners of this estate since the 20th century, we have restored and expanded the vineyard and completely renovated the Château. True to our principles regarding the protection of the environment, we operate Château Eyquem in keeping with sustainable agriculture practices.
