En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Malherbes stands at the locality of Malherbes, in Latresne, on the right bank of the Garonne upstream of Bordeaux (Gironde). According to the estate's history, it was founded in 1389 by Guilhem de Malherbes; the Inventaire général recognises here a manor house known since the 16th century, which passed between several noble families. The agricultural outbuildings date mainly from the 18th century, while the main building was rebuilt in the mid-19th century in the 16th-century style: a square storey with ordered elevation, walls of dressed stone and rubble partly rendered, roofs of hollow tile with long pitches, a covered gable and a conical roof, and a dog-leg staircase with returns and a light opening. A park surrounds the whole. Taken over in 2014 by new owners, the wine estate of some twenty hectares acquired a gravity-fed cellar in 2021 and offers visits and tastings by reservation.
