Chateau Masburel was founded in 1740 by Jean de Sambellie, Consul of Sainte-Foy to King Louis XV of France, who used the Masburel site to build a chartreuse – a residential Chateau. He promptly planted a vineyard, taking advantage of the favourably south-facing, well-drained slopes. The chateau remained the residence of top royal administrators up until the French revolution when it became an important winemaking estate. This suite has views over the courtyard to the vineyards in the distance. It features quality antiques, a king-size french bed with fine cotton sheets and Siberian goose down pillows. The bathroom has a bath and shower with designer fittings and luxurious Cole and Lewis body products. Everyone who stays at Chateau Masburel is welcome to have a guided tour of the vineyard and winery with an explanation of the wine making processes. At the end of the tour you are welcome to visit the wine tasting rooms to try some of the Chateau's award winning wines. Each bedroom has air conditioning.
