The Vineyard
The four hectares of vines at Château du Courlat are planted entirely with Merlot on sought-after clay-loam soils with traces of limestone — some of the finest terroir in the appellation for producing rich, structured Merlot with genuine ageing potential. The vines average 25 years old, old enough to deliver concentration and complexity without sacrificing freshness.
About Château du Courlat
Château du Courlat is located in Lussac-Saint-Émilion, one of the most respected satellite appellations on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, just north of Saint-Émilion itself. The Bourotte family owns the estate through their négociant house Jean-Baptiste Audy, established in 1906. The Audy family has deep roots on the Right Bank and a portfolio that includes Château Bonalgue and Clos du Clocher in Pomerol, and Château Les Hauts Conseillants in Lalande de Pomerol.
The Cuvée Jean-Baptiste is named in honour of Pierre Bourotte’s grandfather and represents the estate’s finest selection — consistently recognised as one of the appellation’s benchmark wines.
