FAMILLE André Lurton
Les Vignobles André Lurton, currently one of the largest wineries in the Bordeaux region, is a family company. André Lurton, the company’s founder, is first and foremost a wine maker. For almost 70 years, he has dedicated his life to the vineyard. Today, he continues to spend his time loving and protecting the vines, as only a man born here can do. Les Vignobles André Lurton has 640 hectares of vines, planted in the best soils over 6 prestigious Bordeaux appellations in Bordeaux.
The company’s head-office is at Château Bonnet in Grézillac where André Lurton was born. The red and white vineyard covers almost 300 hectares in several appellations: Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux Red and Rosé. However, Les Vignobles André Lurton also includes 260 hectares of vines in Pessac-Léognan.
