Having acquired Château des Combes in 1858, Ducourt family settles in the small hamlet of Hourc, a commune of Ladaux, itself a small village in the heart of Entre-Deux-Mers, to the south east of Bordeaux. Pierre Ducourt, then his children and his grand-children tend to several hectares of vines that belong to the estate. The arrival of his grandson, Henri Ducourt, at the property marks an important turning point for the business. He, with the help of his three children (Marie Christine, Philippe and Bernard), is to drastically revitalize the company and turn this family vineyard into one of Bordeaux’s largest winemaking unities, with 480 hectares and 14 chateaus in 6 different appellations controlées. For reasons of transparency, all properties are classed according to the Sustainable Agriculture framework, and have been since 2004 now this norm has been replaced by High Environmental Value (HEV). This rating is based upon the how the vines are managed, in two particular areas: respect for and preservation of the environment and the safety of workers. Today, many members of Decourt family are involved in day-to-day operations at the Château. Phillipe is managing vineyards, Jérémy is an enologist, Johnatan oversees sales & marketing, and parents and grandparents are always around.
