Bouchet

About Bouchet

As the descendant of a great Bordeaux wine-growing family, Marc is a qualified oenologist and an international wine consultant, he has drawn on his long experience and savoir-faire to make a range of wines that are attractive and fruit forward and can be enjoyed on any occasion. Marc Lurton and his wife Agnes run Vignobles Marc & Agnès Lurton along with their daughter Pauline, the 6th generation of the family.
The lands of Bouchet are located in Grezillac, in Bordeaux’s Entre-Deux-Mers region, some 10 km south of Saint-Emilion. In the 12th century, the monks’ soldiers who belonged to the Templars built a church and some facilities in the forest around the village of Bouchet and started to cultivate grains and grow vines. The estate was later acquired by Marc’s grandfather in 1901. The 99 acres of vines are made up of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (for the red and rosé wines) and Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle (for the whites), and are planted on slopes in outstanding clay-limestone terroir.
