About the Vineyard & Estate

Château Lalande Villeneuve is owned and produced by the Uijttewaal family, who also own Château St. Hilaire.

In 2011, Adrien fell under the spell of an abandoned property overlooking the estuary, Château Lalande Villeneuve. Knowing the unique potential of these terroirs, he decides to embark on the restructuring of this 5.4-hectare vineyard with his daughter Elise. The wine of Château Lalande Villeneuve is the result of replanting, precision, patience, and passion.
