Here it all started!

The grapes vinified for Chateau Franc Couplet come from most of the plots of our estate and we know every corner by heart.

This wine bears the name of our family, and is in our image : authentic and whole.

Vinified with great care, attention and patience, the wines of Chateau Franc Couplet are regularly awarded prizes in the various competitions in which we participate each year (for example in Paris, Bordeaux and Blaye). Proud of our know-how and our traditions, the medals we win offer our customers an additional guarantee of quality.
Available in Bordeaux or Bordeaux Supérieur, these wines are round with notes of fresh fruit.
