Partly demolished during the French Revolution, it became the property of the Dupeyrat family, who gradually rebuilt it. The present-day château dates from 1802. It is a beautiful building protected by two towers, and surrounded by a terrace facing the village of Cars. This estate is situated on one of the most beautiful hillsides of Blaye.
Since 1975, vines at Château Pardaillan have been tended with a very environmentally-friendly approach according to the principles of sustainable viticulture.

Merlot thrives here, and expresses itself beautifully in a strong, elegant wine.
