Château Plaisance

Château Plaisance is the estate of the Penavayre family, who have been growing vines in Vacquiers for several generations, in the heart of the Fronton and Vin de Pays du Comté Tolosan appellations. The estate was taken over and expanded by Marc Penavayre in 1991, when he took over from his father Louis. Château Plaisance now has 30 hectares of vines.

In the early 2000s, Château Plaisance refocused on gentle cultivation techniques, working the vines as closely as possible to the terroir, without fertilizers or weedkillers, favoring natural products, harvesting very ripe, very healthy, sorted grapes, and vinification guided by the idea of "letting the land speak." According to this principle, the wines ferment using natural yeasts present on the grape skins, which guarantee the typical characteristics of the grape variety.

Château Plaisance has been officially certified organic since the 2011 vintage (QUALITE France SAS FR BIO 10).
