Château d’Escurac’s team’s goal is to make the best wine possible. A wine recognized for its quality approach and which represents the highest level of its appellation. Four wines are produced at the property. Each of them has its own personality and characteristics.
In 1989, Jean-Marc Landureau settled on the property and put all his energy into renovating the vineyard. No more trips to the cooperative!
In 1990, he made his first vintage. While returning to the fundamentals with the vines he had inherited, he enthusiastically embraced new techniques to make the progress he sought.
This continuous and almost obsessive quest for adaptation and precision was rewarded in 1999, when Château d’Escurac won the 15th Crus Bourgeois Cup, ahead of some of the most illustrious growths in the category.
This exploit has since been repeated as, vintage after vintage, we discover wines that show a powerful, no-nonsense style yet reveal considerable elegance and subtlety – somewhat like their creator.
Château d’Escurac
Château d’Escurac is in the commune of Civrac-Médoc. One of its special features is its location on a high hill of gravelly soil over a clay subsoil rather than clay limestone as is the case for almost all of the rest of the commune. This remarkable soil explains the unique character of the estate’s wines.
