Description
History
Château Blanchereau's story dates back to 1891 when the historic Domaine de Blanchereau Genibon was divided into three separate estates: Château Blanchereau, Château de Genibon, and Château Genibon-Blanchereau. In a remarkable reunion, Château Genibon-Blanchereau was rejoined by Château de Genibon in 1989 and finally by Château Blanchereau in 2022, following the retirement of their respective owners. This unification has brought together the rich heritage and expertise of these estates under one name.
