About the estate:
Renowned wine merchant founded in 1840 by Pierre Dourthe, owner of several estates (Belgrave in the Haut-Médoc, Le Boscq in Saint-Estèphe, Rahoul in the Graves, Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru) and producer of high-quality branded wines (Dourthe No. 1, La Grande Cuvée, Terroirs d’Exception). A trusted name that has remained closely tied to the Médoc, part of the family-owned Champenois group Alain Thiénot since 2007.
