Welcome to ma-propriete.fr, the leading platform for rural and wine property transactions. If you are planning to buy a wine estate or invest in a vineyard in France, you are at the heart of the largest market in the wine world.
France, with its incredible diversity of terroirs, offers a unique range of opportunities: from the prestigious Grand Cru of Burgundy to charming wine estates in Provence and historic châteaux in Bordeaux. Owning a vineyard means embracing a unique lifestyle that combines a passion for the land, architectural heritage and entrepreneurship.
Use this page to browse our opportunities by region (Bordeaux, Rhône Valley, Loire Valley, etc.) or by type of investment (vineyards only, GFV, company shares).
The Wine Market in France: Diversity and Excellence
Vine cultivation has shaped the French landscape since Roman times. Today, the sector is regulated by the National Institute for Origin and Quality (INAO), which guarantees compliance with Appellations d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) standards and the reputation of wine produced within the European Union and around the world.
A Tour de France of the Vineyards
Each wine-growing region has its own identity, grape varieties and economic model:
- Bordeaux: This region is the global giant of fine wines. In Gironde, the market is vast. On the Right Bank (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol), Merlot dominates, while the Left Bank (Médoc) gives pride of place to Cabernet. Here you will find 19th- and 16th-century châteaux surrounded by majestic parks. Appellations such as Bordeaux Supérieur and Côtes offer accessible opportunities for first-time buyers. Visit our Bordeaux section to find out more.
- Burgundy: Home to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this is a rarefied market where plots (or "climats") are valued individually. Prices can be very high, justified by the exceptional heritage value of the land. Visit the Burgundy category.
- The Rhône Valley: From the steep slopes of the north (Côte-Rôtie) to the vast expanses of the south (Châteauneuf-du-Pape), this region offers powerful wines. It is a popular area for investors looking for safe bets. Discover our offers in the Rhône Valley.
- The Loire Valley: The garden of France. Here, Renaissance châteaux stand alongside Chenin and Sauvignon vineyards. It is an ideal region for combining tourism and wine-growing projects. Explore the Loire Valley.
- The South and the Mediterranean: Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence attract visitors with their climate and the rosé boom. The South-West, with its indigenous grape varieties, offers authentic properties at often more affordable prices.
- Sparkling wines: Champagne remains the global benchmark for luxury, but other regions such as Alsace (Crémants), Savoie-Bugey, Jura and Loire offer sparkling terroirs full of dynamism.
- Spirits vineyards: Charentes (Cognac) and Armagnac (Gascony) are specific markets closely linked to exports.
Types of Property and Structures
The market is not limited to the sale of turnkey estates. At ma-propriete.fr, we segment our offerings to meet every need:
- Wine estates: A complete entity comprising land (vineyards), buildings (château, manor house, wine cellar) and equipment.
- Vineyards and bare land: For winegrowers wishing to expand or investors looking to lease their land (farm lease). See the Vineyards section.
- Shares in wine-producing companies: Buying shares in an existing company (SCEA, GFA) allows you to become a partner without purchasing the entire property. This is a flexible solution for transferring ownership. See Shares in wine-producing companies.
- Groupement Foncier Viticole (GFV): Ideal for a passive investment. You purchase shares in a vineyard leased to a farmer and receive income (often in bottles). Discover the opportunities in Groupement Foncier Viticole - GFV.
Price, Value and Profitability of Wine Investment
Investing in a vineyard is a long-term investment. Assessing the value of a wine estate is complex and requires specialist expertise.
The value depends on:
- The appellation (AOC/AOP): One hectare of Grand Cru does not have the same value as one hectare of IGP. The controlled designation of origin is the primary determinant of land prices.
- Production facilities: The condition of the cellar, wine storehouse and agricultural equipment influences the purchase price. Modern, functional infrastructure is an asset.
- Residential buildings: The presence of a historic château, a characterful residence or a swimming pool adds value in terms of amenity and pure property value.
- Marketing: The value of stocks, the brand and the distribution network (export, direct sales, mass distribution) are crucial to economic profitability.
Whether you are a financial investor or a new winegrower, it is essential to analyse the income statement and development potential. Wine consumption is changing (lower volumes, higher quality), and the estate must be adapted to these new trends.

Partner Network
To assess your property at the right price, we can refer you to a property expert or a partner agency specialising in wine estate transactions. They will be able to carry out a technical and financial analysis to reassure potential buyers.
Legal, Technical and Commercial Expertise
Buying a property is not just a matter of signing the deed of sale. It is a complex process that requires support.
The Legal and Tax Framework
SAFER has a right of pre-emption on rural transactions. It is crucial to understand its role. In addition, the choice of legal structure (GFA, SCEA) has major tax implications (capital gains, inheritance tax). Our articles and partners (lawyers, notaries) provide you with the knowledge you need to structure your acquisition.
Technical and Oenological Audit
Before purchasing, it is advisable to have the condition of the vineyard (missing vines, wood diseases) and the cellar audited. Knowing whether the estate is capable of producing quality wine without immediate massive investment is a key factor in the overall cost.
