Dal XIV secolo la tenuta \u00e8 considerata \u00abla gloire du Bourgeais\u00bb, l'orgoglio del Bourgeais.\n\nIl castello fu costruito nel 1612 in stile Luigi XIII. Alla fine del XVII secolo pass\u00f2 alla famiglia Gaillard de Falfas, che lo restaur\u00f2 e gli diede il proprio nome. Una guida storica del 1827 annovera Falfas tra i migliori cru della regione.\n\nLa svolta decisiva arriv\u00f2 nel 1988: la tenuta pass\u00f2 interamente alla viticoltura biologica e biodinamica, un vero lavoro pionieristico per l'epoca. Oggi Falfas \u00e8 certificata biologica (Ecocert) e biodinamica (Biodyvin) e figura tra i precursori di questo approccio in Francia.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_208684\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1400\"]<img title=\"Illustrazione storica dello Ch\u00e2teau Falfas\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hostorische-Abbildung-des-Chateau-Falfas.webp\" alt=\"Illustrazione storica dello Ch\u00e2teau Falfas\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1084\" class=\"rounded-corners-img size-full wp-image-208684\" \/> <em>Illustrazione storica dello Ch\u00e2teau Falfas<\/em>[\/caption]\n\n<h2>Vigneto e biodinamica<\/h2>\n\nVenti ettari di vigne sono inseriti in un ecosistema intatto fatto di quattro ettari di bosco di propriet\u00e0 e quasi venti ettari di boschi vicini.
