Château Hourtin-Ducasse
Taking care of our vines with plant infusions, naturally grassed plots, energy independence thanks to our photovoltaic panels, natural shearing and fertilisation with our Landes sheep, nest boxes for blue tits and bats, lightweight glass bottles for a reduced carbon footprint, blind blending, alcoholic fermentation directly in barrels, music therapy, electric wave sensors on the vines ... and new experiments every year. Why do we do this?
Firstly, we are convinced that we are improving the quality of our wines in this way. The last 37 vintages have won 149 awards.
Secondly, we want to protect the richness of our terroir for a future that will continue to tell the story of the excellence of Haut-Médoc. That's what our choices are all about.
Finally, we want to leave our 7 children a quality environment that will enable them to fulfil their potential in these wonderful professions of the vine, on a planet that is as healthy and generous as possible.
And we welcome you every day, all year round. We offer a range of tours to suit all your vineyard and wine experiences:
-Aperitifs in the Cellars for epicureans, or in the Vines for nature lovers
-Ampelography (with 4 single-vineyard wines to start with! ) for a complete understanding of blended wines
-the Picnic in the Garden for those with a big appetite and a nice break between 2 rows of vines
-Le Goûter dans les Chais, because children also have the right to discover a vineyard
-the Snack Bar, with its treasure hunt in the vineyards for the bravest, and the family, to fill up on treats (wines for the parents, grape juice for the children) with sweet and savoury cannelés, all homemade...
Whatever your choice, welcoming you to the vineyard means you can enjoy our wines as much as we enjoy them, sharing not only our convictions but also the truth of our daily lives... and our wines.
What lovely encounters to come!
