Château Lastours

The Chateau Lastours is an old family estate owned by the Faramond family for over four centuries. The estate has evolved over time from a small fort overlooking the river Tarn to a chateau with four towers. The original strategic structure  was embellished and redesigned in the 16th century with decorations, ornaments, and mullioned windows. Coated bricks and pebbles form a mosaic of red and white colors, characteristic of southwestern France.

For the past three generations, the family of Faramond has restored and preserved much of the castle, including its extensive art collection.

The property’s vineyard benefits from the warmth of the Mediterranean climate, the humidity of the ocean, and the amplitude of continental temperatures. The average age of the vines is 35 years, of which one third are white and two thirds are red, and the vineyard spans 52 hectares.
