The property was designed in 1750 by \u003cstrong\u003eVictor Louis\u003c\/strong\u003e — the celebrated architect of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux — and acquired its full name when the Tronquoy-de-Lalande family elevated the vineyard to prominence in the 19th century. In 1936, Lucienne Quié famously chose this charming manor overlooking the Gironde estuary over Château Pichon Baron, and the estate has remained in the Quié family ever since. Today, the third generation — Anne-Françoise, Jean-Philippe, and Paul-Henri — stewards the property with the same passion and commitment to quality, and since 2012 the estate has been united in destiny with \u003cstrong\u003eChâteau Rauzan-Gassies\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Château holds the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eEntreprise du Patrimoine Vivant\u003c\/strong\u003e label, awarded in spring 2024 in recognition of its commitment to ecologically sound agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate's \u003cstrong\u003e30-hectare vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e sits on the finest hillsides of the village of \u003cstrong\u003eSaint-Seurin-de-Cadourne\u003c\/strong\u003e, within a Natura 2000 biodiversity site on the banks of the Gironde. The vineyard is planted with \u003cstrong\u003e65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e, farmed according to virtuous, sustainable agriculture with parcel-specific soil management. Clay soils lend the Merlot roundness and vivid, savoury fruit, while drier, draining soils allow the Cabernet Sauvignon to reach optimal maturity with ripe, velvety tannins — the authentic signature of Haut-Médoc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach parcel is vinified individually with meticulous attention to terroir expression. The wine is crafted to reflect the natural character of the vintage and the estate's distinctive clay-gravel soils, with careful extraction to build structure without sacrificing freshness or elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 opens with aromas of \u003cstrong\u003eblackberries, graphite, and black currant\u003c\/strong\u003e, precise and focused. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with \u003cstrong\u003ecompressed, chewy tannins that are fine and structured\u003c\/strong\u003e, showing excellent concentration and length. A serious, cellar-worthy Haut-Médoc from an outstanding vintage that rewards patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A chewy and tight wine with blackberries, graphite and currant aromas and flavors.
