Welcome to ma-propriete.fr, the leading website for rural property and buying a wine estate. Whether you are a passionate investor, a professional looking for a new business opportunity, or a new winegrower seeking a change of lifestyle, our platform opens the doors to France's most beautiful vineyards.
France: discover an exceptional heritage. From prestigious 18th-century Bordeaux châteaux to small-scale organic farms, the market offers a diversity that is unique in the world. Buying a wine estate is not just a land acquisition, it is an investment in a terroir, a history and expertise that is recognised throughout the world.
France remains the global benchmark for vines and wine. Vine cultivation is elevated to an art form there, shaping the landscapes and economies of many regions.
French vineyards are the result of centuries of history. It is not uncommon to find historic wine estates dating back to the 16th or 17th centuries, offering a majestic setting with grounds, swimming pools and stately homes. These places often combine the charm of stone with the efficiency of a modern wine estate equipped with a state-of-the-art wine cellar.
Each wine region has its own identity, defined by its climate, soil and grape varieties:
Bordeaux : Unmissable. Whether on the Right Bank (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol) or in the Médoc (Left Bank), there are world-renowned châteaux. The Côtes de Bordeaux also offer superb opportunities with excellent value for money. The dominant grape varieties here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
Rhône Valley : From the steep slopes of the northern Côtes du Rhône to the rounded pebbles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the south, this is a land of character. It is an ideal region for those who wish to produce powerful, sun-kissed wines.
Loire Valley : The garden of France offers a wide variety of wines, from Muscadet to Sancerre (Sauvignon Blanc) and light reds (Cabernet Franc). It is a popular area for its architectural heritage and relaxed lifestyle.
Languedoc and South-West : If you are looking to sell in Languedoc or buy in the South-West, you will find larger properties and enormous development potential, often at more affordable prices.
Provence : The land of choice for rosé wine, combining wine production with a luxurious residential lifestyle ("L'or rose" or "pink gold").
The market is changing. Organic farming has become a major selection criterion. An organic wine estate attracts customers who are concerned about the environment and their health. In addition, direct sales and wine tourism are growing: a good commercial location and an established commercial network are key assets for making a wine estate investment profitable.
The valuation of a wine estate is complex because the price varies greatly depending on the appellation (AOC/AOP), the condition of the vines, the value of the buildings (the château or villa) and the reputation of the brand ("goodwill").
The price of vineyards in France varies greatly. Here are a few guidelines to help you structure your estate purchase budget:
AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) vineyards:
The national average is around €150,000 per hectare, but this figure masks extreme disparities.
In Champagne, the average price often exceeds €1 million per hectare.
In Bordeaux, one hectare in Pauillac (Médoc) can fetch €2 to €3 million, while in the Côtes de Bordeaux, vineyards can be found for around €15,000 to €20,000 per hectare.
In Burgundy, Grands Crus wines are traded at confidential and record prices (several million per hectare), while regional appellations remain more affordable.
In the Rhône Valley, one hectare in Châteauneuf-du-Pape sells for around €450,000, compared to €50,000 for a generic Côtes du Rhône.
Vines outside the AOP (IGP, Vins de France):
The price is much more affordable, averaging around €15,000 per hectare. This is often the case in Languedoc or certain areas of the South-West, offering an ideal entry point for a first purchase or for producing creative varietal wines.
The weight of the frame and stock:
When calculating the cost of acquiring a vineyard, it is important to remember to include the value of the property (residential and farm buildings), equipment (tractors, vats) and wine stocks in the cellar, which often represent a large part of the total value of the transaction.

Estimating the value of a domain cannot be improvised. You need to analyse:
Our partners specialising in wine estate valuation and wine market analysis will help you set the right price.
Wine industry transactions involve specific legal arrangements (purchase of assets or shares, management of rural leases, Safer approval). We can put you in touch with solicitors and notaries who specialise in rural and wine law. They will advise you on taxation (capital gains, inheritance tax) and the structure to adopt (SCEA, GFA, SARL).
For novice buyers, we can recommend technical audits to assess the cultural condition of an estate (health of the vines, presence of diseases) and the potential of the winery. Knowing whether the vineyard can produce wine for ageing or whether replanting investments are necessary is crucial for your business plan.
