Château Turcaud
シャトー・テュルコー
Guide Hachette 2020 Winemakers of the Year — Entre-Deux-Mers benchmark
Château Turcaud was established in 1973 by Maurice Robert and his wife Simone, who expanded a modest seven-hectare farm into a 50-hectare estate overlooking the medieval abbey town of La Sauve Majeure in the heart of Entre-Deux-Mers. In 2009, their daughter Isabelle and son-in-law Stéphane Le May took the helm, earning the prestigious title of Winemakers of the Year from the Guide Hachette des Vins 2020. The estate practices sustainable viticulture, having returned to fully mechanical weeding and manual vineyard work, eliminating chemical herbicides. Their portfolio spans vibrant Entre-Deux-Mers whites, structured Bordeaux Supérieur reds, rosé, and an elegant Crémant de Bordeaux that earned a gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris.
