Eco-responsible approach at Château Puy Servain

The estate has initiated a sustainable development and eco-friendly approach (in its vineyards and its wineries). The estate is located on a summit swept by the Atlantic winds, thus its name (Puy means summit and Servain means windy or served by the wind). The property can be the departure point for a great trek which joins the Moulin de Ponchapt loop.
