Château Cronneau is a very historic château that survived the '100 Years War', a battle between England and France that took place in the 5th century.
With a history dating back to 1620, the chateau is surrounded by a moat and has eight towers. Christophe Pia, who pays meticulous attention to every step of the process, from vineyard care to bottling, shares information with the young owners in the same area and is keen to improve. He is also a voice for the new trend towards château identity and always aims to make wines that are appealing. He is a 'Striving for the Future' winemaker who takes advantage of the favourable natural conditions and leaves the environment to his children through organic farming. Christophe Pia was crowned 'Wine Grower of the Year' by Cuisine et Vin, the number one award amongst Bordeaux producers, and his wines were named 'Everyday Drinker of the Year' by the Revue du Vin de France. The wine has also received rave reviews from Revue du Vin de France magazine, which called it "a wine you could drink every day and never get tired of".
