Château de Vinzel

The Château de Vinzel estate is a jewel that shines in the heart of La Côte. Its 8.5 hectare vineyard extends around period buildings. It benefits from a gentle slope, facing south, with a high planting density and limited yields. Today, the new generation of the Monachon winegrower family, with Fabien at its head, takes care of the vines of this prestigious estate.
