Château Ducluzeau is a true family-owned estate in the Médoc, where Monique Rochette Borie was born and raised. Today, the estate is managed by her son, Bruno Borie, a prominent figure in Bordeaux and owner of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou in Saint-Julien and Château Fourcas-Borie in Listrac. Located in the Listrac appellation, the 10-hectare vineyard of Château Ducluzeau is notable for being planted with 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon—one of the highest concentrations of Merlot on the Left Bank. This unique composition gives the wine a supple, fruit-forward character rarely seen in the region. The vineyard sits on classic Listrac terroir, with gravel, clay, and sandy soils, and is densely planted at 10,000 vines per hectare. With a strong family legacy and careful vineyard management, Château Ducluzeau continues to produce accessible, Merlot-driven wines that stand out in the Médoc.
