Definition
A large French country house or castle, often associated with wine regions and historic estates.
Etymology
From French 'château,' derived from Latin 'castellum' (fortress or castle). Entered English in the 17th century when referring to impressive French estates.
Kelly Says
French wine bottles love to brag about their château on the label—it's basically saying 'this wine comes from an impressive castle'—which makes even cheap wine sound fancy and romantic!
