Pommard Château de Dracy

Built in 1298 to serve as a military fortress for the Dukes of Burgundy, the castle underwent major transformations over the centuries. The 75-metre long winery and the cellars, built in 1728, are particularly remarkable and still in full use today. The wines produced at Cha?teau de Dracy have been distributed by Albert Bichot since 1905!
