  • About Château Vessière

    Château Vessière, a family estate, is located in the heart of the Costières de Nîmes in the far south of the Rhone Valley. The Château owns 65 hectares of vineyard. Located at the gates of the Camargue, the estate enjoys exceptional terroir and climate. This magnificent property belonged to Mademoiselle Lucie de Vessière, who became Teulon's wife. The estate has since been passed from generation to generation.

    In 1975, Philippe Teulon took over after studying oenology at Montpellier's Faculty of Sciences. The first bottling took place in 1978 but the wine was only consumed privately. It was not until 1979 that the wine was marketed in France and abroad.

    Philippe was able to pass on his passion to his son Vincent, who in turn went on to study oenology at Montpellier and then put these studies into practice in Napa Valley, California.

    Since 2007, Vincent and his wife Lucie have continued the family history. Together they have developed new working techniques; on the one hand by converting the estate to organic and later biodynamic and on the other by taking on the commercial activities of the company. Currently the couple lives at the Château with their two children to combine family life and demanding work.

    Philippe is still present at the estate every day and works closely with Vincent to develop fine and elegant organic wines, for which they receive numerous awards every year.
