The vivacity and brilliance of a Haut-Médoc wine

The property

With a history dating back to the 13th century, the Château d’Agassac is a property located at the gates of Médoc, on the left bank of Bordeaux.

For over 8 centuries, this estate has experienced major growth thanks to the involvement of illustrious families (Gaillard de Gassac, Pommiers, Richier or Gasqueton). The insurance company Groupama acquired the estate in 1996, taken over since 2021 by the family group Beautiful Life, founded by Gérard Jicquel who has also owned Château Fourcas-Dupré (Listrac) since 2019.

Promoted to Exceptional Cru Bourgeois in 2020, Château d’Agassac is recognised for its wines that harmoniously combine power and balance with fine tannins and a complex and refined aromatic structure. With a philosophy focused on innovation and the perpetual quest for excellence, Château d'Agassac stands out in particular for its bottles, which have had their cork replaced by a screw cap since 2004.

Château d'Agassac is a Haut-Médoc wine from a 43-hectare vineyard, one of the oldest in Médoc.
