chateau
Vintner's grand residence
A chateau is a large country house or castle, particularly in France.
The term often implies grandeur—aristocratic estates, vineyard manors, or stately homes with historical significance: The wine comes from a small chateau in Bordeaux.
In North America, chateau sometimes names upscale hotels or developments aspiring to French elegance.
