History

The property has been well known in France for many centuries and was once the country residence of Louis XIV’s bodyguard, a Monsieur Lacroix Maron, whose wine-making family is credited as having invented the double distillation process used in the making of cognac. The chateau changed hands of the years and was eventually bought by Alan Johnson-Hill, in 1978. He immediately embarked on an ambitious restoration program, revitalizing the vineyard, modernizing the estate and building the Château Méaume brand through his marketing expertise and gregarious personality. Château Méaume is now sold worldwide from the United Kingdom to Hong Kong. [elfsight_age_verification id="1"]
