    • The Château de Plassac, a jewel of Charente heritage and property of the Dampierre family, combines a passion for wine, tradition and the French art of living.

      For over two centuries and eight generations, the Dampierre family has been producing exceptional Cognacs at Château de Plassac. The wines made from the Ugni Blanc and Colombard grape varieties, sourced exclusively from the estate's vines, are distilled in the traditional still using the Charente double distillation method. The cognac eaux-de-vie are then aged for between 15 and 20 years in oak barrels bearing the family's coat of arms.

      The magnificent Château de Plassac is proud to produce cognacs that have won many awards, such as at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris in 2015, where the XO won 5 gold medals.

    An unexpected visit slightly outside of opening hours, but we were wonderfully welcomed by the lord of the castle and his son, who gave us a superb private tour of the grounds. A wonderful discovery of Pinot des Charentes, a wine we hadn't heard of before, which is excellent.

    Beautiful castle and wine tasting at the end of the tour. Fantastic English tour given as well with an incredibly friendly owner. I would definitely recommend!

    A beautiful castle and hospitable hosts! We were passing by and couldn't miss such beauty. The owner has a wonderful cognac production, also produces wine and aperitifs. For me, the aperitif Pineau des Charentes was a real discovery: delicate, velvety, viscous, with notes of honey, dried fruits, a hot summer day and ripe sweet grapes. Atmospheric castle, the spirit of time and history reigns here. Thank you for your hospitality, we will definitely visit you again! 🚐👋
