A remarkable collection
The tasting room exhales its precious fragrances; the soft fruitiness of our Merlots, the citrusy freshness of our Sauvignon Blanc, the touch of spice in our eau-de-vie…
1621
Wine has been made on the site of Château Thénac for over 900 years – first by Benedictine monks and then, after their priory was demolished, winemaking recommenced in 1621. Now, on the 400th anniversary of that date, the Château has decided to celebrate this rich history by releasing a special cuvée. Called 1621 and produced in limited quantity, this unique wine is made from just two plots — one Merlot and one Cabernet Sauvignon – both on the plateau surrounding the Château. The grapes are picked by hand and lovingly crafted in the state-of-the-art cellars into a rich, complex, yet impeccably balanced wine. As part of this celebration of 400 years of history, the Château has partnered with outstanding young artists, to create the label of these limited edition cuvées. The marriage of fine art and fine wine can be traced back through the depths of tome, as can the history of our much loved Château. These special releases are very limited and carry the label designed by the artist and a wine that has taken just 400 years to perfect!

Château Thénac Rouge
The blending of our Grand Vin mirrors Thénac’s terroir: precious and complex. An intense wine with a velvety texture. Its strong flavour of black fruits and spices and its perfectly well-rounded tannins showcase its elegance.

Château Thénac Blanc
Born from cool clay and layers of flint, Château Thénac Blanc has a very specific mineral signature. Its maturation on lees brings a velvety texture and complex notes to the wine.
DownloadsChâteau Thénac Sweet
Made from a small plot threaded with clay and limestone where the Sémillon matures late. The signature of the great botrytised is a vibrancy that perfectly counterbalances the sweetness. This wine is characterised by notes of apricot, quince and honey.

Fleur de Thénac Rouge
Built around a solid Merlot base (which makes up about two thirds of the blend), it’s singled out for the quality of its smooth, luxurious body and intensely fruity notes. It is partly matured in barrels for at least 12 months.
DownloadsFleur de Thénac Blanc
This wine showcases the vivid flavours of the Sauvignon region; jasmine, candied lemons and grapefruit. A delicate gem of a wine, refreshing and created with the utmost aromatic precision. Containing an array of fragrances, it’s perfect for the apéritif and is just what you need for pairing with creative cooking.

White eau-de-vie
Like its amber cousin, this eau-de-vie is part of a rare production. It’s full of the flavours of spring and is floral and delicate, which tie together beautifully with the deep notes of plums at the peak of their ripeness.
DownloadsAmber eau-de-vie
The amber version of our eau-de-vie is aged in one single barrel. It has the marvellous flavour of fresh plums paired with softly spiced notes. Its finish evokes the elegance of the great and timeless eaux-de-vie.
