Producer Information

Chteau Dauzac is a producer making Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant Bordeaux blends in the Labarde commune of Margaux, and was ranked a fifth growth in the 1855 Classification of Medoc and Graves. The chteau gained prominence in the 1880s, when its vineyards were the site of trials that led to the development of a fungicide to combat downy mildew, commonly known as the Bordeaux Mixture, or “bouillie bordelaise”. The chteau is built on a property that has records of ownership dating back to the 12th Century, and a reference to “Bourdieu Dauzac” in the records of the Benedictine abbey St. Croix of Bordeaux dates back to 1545. The estate lies in in the commune of Larbarde, at the very eastern end of the Margaux appellation and south of the village of Margaux. Indeed, while the Dauzac estate covers 120 hectares (295 acres) of land, with a single, 49 hectare (120 acre) block of vineyard, four hectares (10 acres) of it is outside the Margaux appellation and qualifies only for the Haut-Mdoc title. The vineyard is planted to a rough 65 percent to 35 percent ratio of Cabernet Sauvignon to Merlot. This provides fruit for the grand vin and the second wine, Labastide Dauzac. The four-hectare (10-acre) plot in the Haut-Mdoc provides fruit for Dauzac’s third wine, Chteau Labarde. A fourth wine, Aurore de Dauzac, was made exclusively for the 2013 vintage. Until 2019, the estate had been owned by French insurance group, MAIF (Mutuelle d’Assurances des Instituteurs de France) for past 30 years. It was the directors of MAIF who, in 1992, brought in Andr Lurton to reinvigorate the property. In 2019, Chteau Dauzac was sold to French businessman Christian Rolleau, founder of business services company SAMSIC.
