Famille DucourtChâteau d'Haurets - Bordeaux WhiteThis building, once a modest farm, was converted into a chartreuse in the 18th Century when it was acquired by a notable Swede. In 1983, this château is bought by our grandparents, Henri and Simone, and becomes their home. It’s the place where our family and friends gather together for all occasions. The château breathes joy and good living, just like the wines that are produced here.
