History
The name 'Chambrun' derives from the French 'champ brun' and refers to the brown appearance of a field on the estate. The estate has gone by the name Clos de Chambrun since the early 19th century. The Cholet family bought Clos de Chambrun in 1930. In 1994 they sold it on to Jean-Philippe Janoueix, who renamed the estate "Château de Chambrun."
In 2007 Silvio Denz became its owner. He bought some nearby plots, carefully picked from the very high-quality terroir of the best land for sale under the appellation Lalande de Pomerol. He added this land to Château Chambrun to form a winegrowing estate of 6.8 hectares.
According to Robert Parker, Château de Chambrun stands out among the best wines from Lalande de Pomerol: "The 2010 is a real blockbuster." Referring to "Le Bourg," Parker adds: "The spectacular 2010 Le Bourg is one of the finest Lalande de Pomerols I have ever tasted."
