Description
The wines of Château Villegeorge have been highly sought after from as far back as the 18th century. Upon the establishment of the Cru bourgeois level in 1932, the château was awarded Exceptional Growth status: one of only six wineries to receive the honour. Lucien Lurton purchased the property in 1973, eventually awarding it to his daughter Marie-Laure, who had been winemaker at the château since 1986.
Building on the quality afforded to the wines by the deep gravel soils of the estate, in recent years the cellars have seen incredible upgrades and modernisation. The winery has been recognised and certified as environmentally friendly by Terra Vitis since 2003.
Spice-scented Bordeaux red, with red and black cherries jostling for prominence in the mouth.
