"We're here at Henri Ducourt's place of residence, 13 hectares commissioned from an 18th-century Carthusian monastery surrounded by a large rose garden of over two thousand varieties. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have given birth to this wine, open to red fruits with a hint of oak, supple and full-bodied on the palate". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the domain :

This beautiful 380-hectare estate is one of the largest in the Bordeaux appellation. It includes Château Larroque, located south of Langon on a fine clay-gravel terroir, with classic grape varieties (45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc), Château de Beauregard-Ducourt, located south of Targon, whose grape varieties are balanced between Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Châteaux La Rose du Pin and d'Haurets. The wines are of consistent quality and classicism. Powerful reds, highly aromatic, energetic and refreshing whites, delicious rosés. A truly fine range of character.

About the wine:

In 1858, the Ducourt family settled at Château des Combes in Ladaux, a small village south-east of Bordeaux. It was under the impetus of Henri Ducourt, who settled here in 1951 and has since been taken over by his children and grandchildren, that the family vineyard began to flourish, and today covers 440 hectares spread over thirteen châteaux in the Entre-deux-Mers and Saint-Émilionnais regions.
