When we see Sébastien Thouars, for an instant we have to think of Richard Brandson. But not only his appearance reminds us at Brandson there are more similarities. Sébastien also has his own record label. His father asked him to return to the family castle with about the following words. Son, once this castle will be yours, perhaps it is time learn more about the wine business and come back home. Sébastien takes the challenge and now works full time at the Château. He does marketing and sales. His wife, D'Arcy, is a Canadian working in Paris, and doing social media for a number of famous fashion labels, in short, a dynamic couple. Sébastien's father overtook the Chateau when there was very little wine. He just started and sent the gardener to the Wine College. Not much later, the first awards came in. Next to running the wine business Sébastien has two extra challenges. So he wants restore the old tenant house and make it into a gîte and he likes to build a family museum to honour his famous ancestors who served the navy in Peru, Tahiti and Japan. In Lima,Peru they even named a street after the Petit Thouars who helped to defend Peru against Chile.

Wine is like music
Sébastien found his way in the wine business and can be lyrical as the cellar master let him tatste the first sample from the barrel. "Wine is like music, like poetry, you feel it, but can not actually describe it into words, it is magical." The wines are indeed delicious, but there is even more to come. At this very moment there is a exiting new wine into the barrels which with we will surprise the world.   

As soon as you drive the long drive way and you see the castle you get that feeling. Then when you meet Sébastien, his wife and taste the wines, that feeling is here to stay.
