Château le Payral is an organic and biodynamic winery in the Bergerac region of southwestern France. The estate has been run by Thierry and Isabelle Daulhiac, the fifth generation of the family to do so, since 1992.
Photographer Yoann Stoeckel visited them and accompanied them and their team with his camera as they went about their daily work.
The estate has been certified organic since 2005 and, since 2018, also Demeter-certified for biodynamic farming. The wines are produced using natural yeasts and minimal sulfur.
"Are you captivated by one of our ranges? Find our biodynamic wines at one of our partners. Our products are available throughout the country at dozens of points of sale. From Brittany, through the Île-de-France, to the great Southwest, Payral products are close to you! Don't live in France? Our biodynamic wines are exported internationally. You have no more excuses!" - Thierry Daulhiac.
In addition to winemaking, the historic 19th-century manor house also offers a bed and breakfast, i.e., guest rooms for vacationers.
