Château ICLA is the result of a bold fusion between our family’s passion for wine and our unwavering love of horses.
Château ICLA, their DNA
For Jean-Christophe and Isabelle, entrepreneurship is an adventure written into their DNA.
Born into a family of poultry farmers in the Poitiers region, Jean-Christophe discovered from an early age the powerful bond that links him to the land, to the values of hard work, and to the precious moments shared with his family.
From a completely different background, Isabelle, a city girl who moved to Bordeaux almost three decades ago, had a burning desire to build a professional and personal life based on passion, challenge and sharing.
Complementary in their approach to work, the couple have always taken up challenges, throwing themselves body and soul into new projects.
Léa et Andréa
Their love has given birth to two daughters, Léa, the natural heir to the family values, and Andréa, who has been passionate about the equestrian world since she was a child, and who are determined to play an active role in their parents’ new professional chapter.
” Starting this new adventure represents a real challenge, a courageous dive into the unknown”.

Château ICLA Philosophy
Going back to our roots, bringing friends and family together over wine, resetting the clock on our hard-working lives to set ourselves a final challenge.
Getting back to basics, indulging in the pleasure of creating and learning the craft of winemaking, surrounding ourselves with experienced people to make wines that reflect the very essence of our family: simple, generous, but always with a distinctive touch.
