The Chateau Dutruch Grand
Poujeaux takes its name from
the proprietor who established
the vineyard in about 1850. It
was from his descendants that
François Cordonnier, my
uncle, bought the property in
1967.
With the help of the
experience and knowledge
acquired in the numerous
French vineyards which he
had managed, one of them
the famous Chateau de
Chenonceau in the Loire, he
imposed a personal style on
the management of the
vineyard and the vinification
of its wines, looking for power
and elegance.
