In 1740, when the de Surville family bought the Chateau de Valcombe, it was only vast bare land and a building serving as a hunting venue. Over the years and generations, the estate has been transformed into a real agricultural and wine-growing operation.
The Ch?teau itself was completed in 1860. The first major award was given to the wines of Valcombe at the Universal Exhibition of 1855 in Paris. These days the wines are now sold in more than 15 countries around the world.
