(Decanter) - Chris Walker has become the third British owner of Château Masburel, which was founded in 1740, according to the estate agency that brokered the deal, Vineyards-Bordeaux.

The 33.4-hectare estate in Fougeyrolles produces Montravel appellation wines, as well as AOC Bergerac, and sits on a ridge of hills above the Dordogne river. It has 16.23ha of land under vine, with 75% of its production dedicated to red wine.

There are plans to renovate the Château with an eye on wine tourism.
