About vineculture

Gérard and Albine Laurencin arrived in Bordeaux in 1987 with their three children Valérie, Gilles and Sophie, to manage a property inthe Premières Côtes de Bordeaux. In 1995, they bought 30 acres of red vines to create their own wines. In 2005, to anticipate their development, they invested in 10 acres more. After his studies of mechanical engineer, their son Gilles started to work on the family property and went to the University of Oenology in Bordeaux. Situated on the outskirt of Bordeaux, the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux are eminently suited to vine growing with their excellent sloping sunny exposure. Therefore << Château Rauze Lafargue >> disposes of a south-east exposure on its plateaus and east-west one on its gradients. The ground of Vignobles Laurencin is composed of clayey graves in a large part, but also of deep clays that are associated with chalky clay too. Distribution: private clients, restaurants, vinotheques, export (USA and GB). Now also in the Czech republic.
