Know a bit more about the domain

Claire VILLARS LURTON is the mastermind behind this renewal. Year after year, she works with the greatest finesse to reveal in her wine the exceptional terroir that constitutes the vineyard of Château LA GURGUE.
Trained by her grandfather, Jacques MERLAUT, Claire VILLARS LURTON took over the management of FERRIERE, HAUT-BAGES LIBERAL and LA GURGUE at the age of 25. She then undertook an important reconstruction of the cellars and the vat room of her properties. At the same time, a great deal of work was done to enhance the terroir, while moving towards sustainable viticulture in order to achieve the highest possible quality. At the end of 2006, she bought with her husband Gonzague LURTON, a small property in Saint-Estèphe with a very beautiful terroir: Château DOMEYNE. In this new perspective of quality at all levels, Claire is determined to pursue the challenge of devoting herself to the rebirth of the prestige of her properties and to mark their identity through the expression of their respective terroir.
