The Ducourt family’s winemaking heritage dates back to 1858, when they acquired Château des Combes and settled in the small hamlet of Hourc in southeastern Bordeaux. For generations, the family cultivated the estate’s vineyards, gradually building a reputation for quality, dedication and a deep understanding of the region’s terroir. Under Henri Ducourt, the business entered a period of significant growth, expanding into one of Bordeaux’s largest family-owned wine enterprises, with approximately 450 hectares of vineyards across 14 properties and six appellations. Despite this impressive expansion, the Ducourt family remains closely involved in every aspect of the business, maintaining the personal commitment and attention to detail that have defined the estate since its beginnings. Today, the family combines generations of experience with a forward-looking approach to viticulture and winemaking, producing wines celebrated for their consistency, charm and distinctive Bordeaux character.
