Château Léognan
Léognan, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France · Independent · Core Luxury
The estate's 19th-century revival was led by shipowner Mathieu Seurin, who built the grand château and the Saint-Mathieu chapel, which was consecrated in 1897. After being acquired by Philippe and Chantal Miecaze in 2007, the property underwent extensive renovations to restore its viticultural heritage. In 2023, the estate partnered with the Millésime group to open as a luxury boutique hotel, blending historic charm with modern wellness and gastronomy.

About Château Léognan
- The Buhler brothers designed the park, the same hands as Bordeaux's Parc Bordelais. Le Manège opened in the old stables in 2015.
- Pessac-Léognan, Graves. This is not a Bordeaux city palazzo and not Saint-Émilion.
History
Before it was a château hotel, this Graves estate was the Métairie de Caudeyran, land of the monks of Saint-Jean that later passed to Bordeaux shipowners and wine merchants. The atlas dates the fabric to 1700. In the nineteenth century shipowner Mathieu Seurin raised the present house and the Saint-Mathieu chapel, consecrated in 1897. The Bühler brothers, who laid out Bordeaux's Parc Bordelais, designed the park in the same years.
Chantal and Philippe Miecaze found the place abandoned in 2007 and spent three years putting the house and chapel back to work. A six-hectare vineyard had already been planted in 1989 by neighbouring Domaine de Chevalier. Guest rooms appeared from 2010; Le Manège opened in the old stables in 2015 under the Millésime group.
In July 2023 the estate opened as a twenty-four-room hotel with a spa, forest treehouses, and a wine pavilion in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, a working Graves property that learned to take overnight guests rather than a château built for the guidebook.
