Château Domeyne

The Estate

Situated on a beautiful hill top of gravel soils, close to several Classified Growth of Saint-Estèphe estates, such as Château Calon Segur, Château Domeyne confirmed its classification as a Cru Bourgeois in 1932 and has won awards for its wines every year. In 2006, the mansion house was bought by Claire Villars Lurton, owner of Château Haut-Bages Libéral and Château Ferrière which are respectively 5th Classified Growth of Pauillac and 3rd Classifed Growth of Margaux, and her husband Gonzague Lurton, owner of Château Durfort Vivens, 2nd Classified Growth of Margaux. They put all their expertise in their efforts to lift this wine to rank among the best in its classification. With this new goal of quality in mind, Claire and Gonzague Lurton are determined to continue the challenge of promoting Château Domeyne to the top.
