Château Fougas

En un regard

Le château en bref

In the heart of the Côtes-de-Bourg appellation, in the commune of Lansac, Château Fougas is a wine estate known since the late 18th century; the date 1778 is commonly associated with its house, a chartreuse built in Gironde stone. Since 1976 the estate has belonged to the Béchet family, who come from the Bordeaux wine trade, and Jean-Yves Béchet has made it one of the noted addresses of the Right Bank, particularly with its Maldoror cuvée. The vineyard, of some twenty hectares, has been farmed organically and biodynamically since 2010. It is not a protected monument: its interest lies in the ensemble formed by the Gironde chartreuse, its wine cellars and the vine-covered slopes of the Bourgeais. The estate welcomes visitors for tastings and sales of its wines.
