Histoire du domaine
The winemaking adventure of the owners began in Entre-deux-Mers with the acquisition of Château Saint Julian, before a new opportunity led them shortly after to Saint-Émilion, at Château La Grangère. The cru now belongs to SCEA Le Bousquet, managed by Patrice Bigou, who also operates Château Moulin de La Grangère in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru as well as Château Saint Julian and Château Virecourt Conté in Bordeaux Supérieur. The estate explains that it adopted organic viticulture after several years of reflection on soil health and the preservation of the terroir; the domain indicates that it has practiced organic farming since 2010 and obtained its certification in 2013. An official technical sheet dedicated to the 2019 vintage attributes to the vineyard of Château La Grangère an area of 2 hectares, with vines averaging 37 years of age at that time. The sources consulted provide different production figures depending on the vintages and the perimeters considered; therefore, no sufficiently stable current annual production has been retained.
