History

Château de Lugagnac is owned and managed by China Ningbo Yofoto Commodity, with François Thomas Bon, the descendant of the previous owners, as CEO.

The roots of the estate date back to the 13th century. Until the 14th century, Château de Lugagnac belonged to a family of the eponymous surname.

For the next several centuries, the property was known as Château Puch-Lugagnac. In 1474, through the marriage of Pellegrin de Puch with Jeanne de Pellagrue, daughter of the nobleman Pierre de Pellagrue, the château became the property of Château du Grand Puch. The other eminent owner of this family during the 16th century was Videau de Puch.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the estate was owned by Benjamin de Puch-Destrac, Captain of Cavalry.

In the 19th century, the château became one of the region's leading wineries. The estate produced qualitatively and quantitatively until the First World War.

In 1969 the Puch family sold the property to Mylène Bon and Maurice Bon, Parisian advertisers of the Hennessy Group. They have done significant reconstructions in the vineyards, and the cellar, as the estate was in poor condition at that time.

Approach

The 80 parcels of Château de Lugagnac's vineyards are planted on maritime limestone with fossils and rocky clay soils extremely rich in iron. The vines are situated on slight slopes and small hillsides extending from the north to south at the density of 6,500 to 7,500 vines per hectare. The average age of vines is 25 years old.

There are five red grape varieties: Merlot Noir (65 percent), Cabernet-Sauvignon (22 percent), Carménère (8 percent), Malbec (4 percent), and Petit Verdot (1 percent). Also, there are four white grape varieties: Sauvignon Gris (50 percent), Sauvignon Blanc (40 percent), Sémillon (8 percent), and Muscadelle (2 percent).

Since 1995 the vineyards have been cultivated according to sustainable practices. The estate is HVE, and ISO-14001 certified. All the work at the château is done with respect for the environment and qualitative progress.

In the vineyards, agronomic and manual yields control are applied. The vines are pruned by the Guyot method; leaves are stripped and manually thinned. Also, green harvesting is conveyed.

Harvesting is followed by rigorous grape sorting in the vineyard.

The Tricépage wine is bottled 24 months after the harvest.
