Buying a Vineyard: Why Celebrities Invest in French Wine Estates
In recent years, more and more celebrities have chosen to buy a vineyard in France. Some do it out of passion for exceptional wines, others for financial or heritage reasons. From Jean-Louis Trintignant to Pierre Richard, Francis Cabrel, Bixente Lizarazu or Éric Dupont-Moretti, famous personalities significantly influence the high-end vineyard market.
Investing in a Vineyard in Bordeaux or the Southwest: A Safe Bet
The Southwest and Bordeaux regions remain the preferred destinations for celebrities purchasing prestigious wine estates. Chinese actress Zhao Wei acquired Château Monlot in 2011, while other well-known figures also own vines in Saint-Émilion, the Médoc or nearby appellations.
Buying a Vineyard as a Second Passion
Some stars maintain a deep connection with the wine world. Actor Jean-Louis Trintignant works his family vineyards in the Gard, while Gérard Depardieu and Pierre Richard manage large and renowned wine estates producing hundreds of thousands of bottles annually.
Celebrities Boosting French Terroirs
By investing in wine estates across regions such as Collioure, Burgundy, Val de Loire or Languedoc-Roussillon, celebrities help highlight lesser-known terroirs and support the development of local wine production.
