" We are here at the residence of Henri Ducourt, 13 hectares commanded by an 18th-century charterhouse surrounded by a large rose garden with over two thousand varieties. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have given birth to this wine, which opens with red fruit nuances of oak, supple with good volume on the palate." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

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

In 1858, the Ducourt family settled at Château des Combes in Ladaux, a small village southeast of Bordeaux. Under the leadership of Henri Ducourt, who took over in 1951 and has since been succeeded by his children and grandchildren, the family vineyard has flourished, now covering 440 hectares spread across thirteen châteaux in Entre-deux-Mers and Saint-Émilionnais.
