Producer Information

Chteau Couhins-Lurton is a wine estate in the Pessac-Lognan region, just south of the city of Bordeaux in southwest France. The estate is classified a Grand Cru for its white wines but, in keeping with many other estates in the region, also produces a (non-Grand Cru) red wine. Couhins-Lurton shares a common history with its neighbor and namesake Chteau Couhins as, prior to the early 1970s, both were part of the same holding. The original Chteau Couhins estate dates back to before the French Revolution and, despite periods of stability, the property had seen numerous owners well into the 20th Century. By the 1959 classification of Graves, the estate was run by the Gasqueton family and although it was classified a Grand Cru estate for its white wines, by the late 1960s, only a few hectares of vines remained and the Gasqueton heirs began making moves to sell the property. In 1970, the chteau and buildings were sold to private buyers while the vineyard was sold to INRA (France’s National Institute for Agronomic Research). By this stage, however, local winemaker Andr Lurton had established a lease on the vineyard and this was retained until 1978 when control was returned to INRA.
