The family company, Les Vignobles André Lurton, passion for viticulture in Bordeaux dates back all the way to the mid 17th century. Not lacking courage the family bought several estates, including Château Bonnet, in the middle of the phylloxera crisis, while hoping for better days to come.

André Lurton, inheriting the historic family estate in 1953, is first and foremost a wine maker. For almost 70 years, he has dedicated his life to the vineyard. Today, he continues to spend his time loving and protecting the vines.

Les Vignobles André Lurton has 600 hectares of vines, planted in the best soils over 5 Bordeaux appellations. The red and white vineyard covers almost 300 hectares in several appellations: Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux Red and Rosé. For many years, Château Bonnet’s white wines have had a long standing international reputation for their quality.

Les Vignobles André Lurton also includes 260 hectares of vines in Pessac-Léognan. This appellation was created by André Lurton and selectively groups the best ‘terroirs’ of the Graves region, the historical birth place of the Grands Vins de Bordeaux.
