Château Gazin Rocquencourt
シャトー・ガザン・ロッククール
Historic 15th-century Léognan estate managed by Château Malartic-Lagravière's Bonnie family, producing refined Pessac-Léognan reds and whites from certified HVE gravelly terroir.
Château Gazin Rocquencourt is one of the oldest wine estates in the commune of Léognan, with vineyard records dating back to 1468 and an elegant manor house built in 1660. Originally known as 'Château Gazen et Bourbon,' then 'Château Gazin,' the estate adopted its current name in 1995 to distinguish itself from Château Gazin in Pomerol. Since 2006, the property has been owned by the Bonnie family—proprietors of the Grand Cru Classé de Graves Château Malartic-Lagravière—who manage it with the same meticulous care. The 22-hectare estate sits on a splendid ridge of dry gravel in Léognan, certified for sustainable agriculture and High Environmental Value (HVE). Red wines blend Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while a distinguished white wine is crafted from Sauvignon Blanc.
