Saint-Estèphe

Château

L'Insouciance

Established in 2009, Château l’Insouciance was previously comprised of a single 1.80 hectare plot and was one of the most under-the-radar wineries in the appellation. Its deep gravel terroir produces wines that combine both power and elegance.

Since Caroline and Fabien Rycroft took over at the end of September 2023, the vineyard has been enriched with new plots of high quality potential, now totaling nearly 3.50 hectares in the Saint-Estèphe appellation.

Under the guidance of Thomas Duclos and with a team driven by an ambitious vision, the estate strives to express the quintessence of the property's remarkable terroirs (no herbicides, mechanical work in the vineyard, hand-picked grapes, ultra-selective sorting, barrel aging, etc.).

The construction of a new, high-performance winery, planned for 2026, will further fulfill the owners' desire to produce exceptional wines.

Château l'Insouciance aspires to become a true gem of Saint-Estèphe.
