Histoire du domaine
The origins of Château Gazin Rocquencourt date back to the Middle Ages, and the estate is described as one of the oldest in the commune of Léognan. The earliest known records of vineyards date from 1468, when the property belonged to Guillem de Gazen. The estate is associated with a gravelly terroir situated on the left bank of the Eau Blanche. Its manor house dates from 1660. The château has been featured in the Féret guides since 1874 for its wines and terroir. The Bonnie family acquired the neighbouring estate of Malartic-Lagravière at the end of 2005, comprising 22 hectares within the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The Gazin Rocquencourt vineyard was subsequently incorporated into the Malartic-Lagravière vineyard layout, whilst retaining its identity as a château. Winemaking is overseen by Cécile Bernier, who is also the cellar master at Malartic-Lagravière.
