About Château Mongenan
At Portets in the Graves vineyards near Bordeaux, the Château de Mongenan is a charming 18th-century country house with a delightful and unusual character. Built in the age of the Enlightenment, it is surrounded by a beautiful botanical garden of the period, planted with rare and fragrant species, and preserves a fascinating museum evoking the 18th century, Freemasonry and the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whose spirit pervades the place. The estate is also a working vineyard producing Graves wine, which visitors can taste. This blend of elegant architecture, historic garden, philosophy and wine makes Mongenan quite unique. Refined, cultured and steeped in the spirit of the Enlightenment, the Château de Mongenan offers a delightful and original visit combining heritage, botany and Bordeaux wine, a hidden gem in the vineyards south of the city.
