Description

Chateau Raspail has a remarkable history as it was built for money earned by buying and then selling a romain statue (replica of Diadumenos Polyclitus) discovered by excavations in Vaison-la-Romaine and then bought by Eugene Raspail (1812-1888) for a reasonable price and shortly after sold to British Museum for 25.000 Francs. These money enabled Eugene Raspail to build Chateau Raspail situated by vineyards he had inherited from his father. In the years when the chateau was built the phylloxera attacked the vines in Europe in the1860-ties. After that some years passed by before vines again were planted by another owner of Chateau Raspail Chateau Raspail reminds of an Italien villa and this is because Eugene Raspail in his younger days were exiled in Italy because of revolutionary activities. In 1979 the legendary Gabriel Meffre bought Chateau Raspail and it's vineyards.
