The union of two families: Bourotte and Audy, united by a shared love of wine
“Five generations of our family have departed from a shared passion and continue upholding the Bordeaux wine merchant history.
Relying on the unique character of each terroir, each plot, adapting to every climate, every vintage — trying, striving, doubting… and always moving forward.
From nature and culture, we aim to craft great wines, in a constant pursuit of healthy, balanced grapes and preserved soils.
A philosophy passed down through the decades, which for so long has inspired our commitment and high standards..”
Jean-Baptiste Bourotte
Five Estates, Three Appellations, and One Technical Team
Our Bordeaux wine merchant history is embodied in each of these five estates
Clos du Clocher – Pomerol
At the heart of the Pomerol plateau, the vines — organically farmed — sink their roots into the renowned blue clay and gravel soils. A story of power and refinement, giving rise to a timeless grand vin.
Château Monregard La Croix – Pomerol
This 100% Merlot grows on a parcel of ancient sands, organically cultivated for over 50 years, producing a wine with undeniable charm and seductive character.
Château Bonalgue – Pomerol
Built by a Napoleonic captain — who clearly knew the value of the land — the estate now welcomes visitors. Its mixed terroir (clay, gravel, sand) yields a wine that captures the very soul of Pomerol: velvety tannins and great aromatic complexity.
Château du Courlat – Lussac Saint-Émilion
A vast reservoir of biodiversity gives birth to a creative and diverse range: two reds, a rosé, a blanc de noir, a grape-based gin, and low-alcohol wines at 9% — Rouge d’argile and Blanc Calcaire.
Château Les Hauts-Conseillants – Lalande de Pomerol
Our family’s passion for this land — and wine lovers’ appreciation for its fruit — has endured through the decades. Here more than anywhere, the fruit is natural, generous, and irresistible.
Jean Baptiste Audy Has Been a Pillar of Bordeaux Excellence.
