A brief history
Welcome to Château Laulan ! We are a young couple, Joann and Quentin, whom recently took over the property.
Originally established in 1982, Château Laulan is a winery with 11,4ha of vines located in the Francs - Côtes de Bordeaux appellation,
approx. 15km from Saint-Emilion. Francs dates to the 5th century, when the region received its name from an army of Franks who won
a battle at a place called Ad Francos, later changed to Francs. It’s home to 42 winemakers over 425ha of vines, making it one of
Bordeaux smallest AOP.
Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec are planted on clay, loam and limestone. We are restructuring the
vineyards at the moment and planting white varieties. Most of our grapes are mechanically harvested and vinified in raw
concrete tanks without any sulfites. We have a few TEDEM oak barrels (500L) and TAVA amphoras (750L) which enable us to experiment
and ferment smaller plots of a specific variety.
We are certified HVE 3 since 2019, and currently in the 2nd year of organic certification with Ecocert.
