Château de Hartes

Château de Hartes

In 1972, Philippe Mazeau settled in the estate, consisting of a single block of 15 hectares of vines grown on a picturesque hill in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region. It overlooks a magnificent panorama of vines, forests, and meadows with villages, Roman churches, châteaux and charming abodes emblematic of «la petite Toscane», or «little Tuscany», as the region is nicknamed.
