In the heart of the Médoc region, Jean-Bernard DURET's estate in Gaillan-en-Médoc bears the traces of a rich past.
In 1840, the Lacapere de Lustrac family settled there, attracted by the booming wine industry. They created a 30-hectare estate, building a house and farm buildings.
Sheep, which were numerous in the region, played a crucial role, their manure fertilizing the vines. Jean-Bernard DURET's ancestors, shepherds from Naujac-sur-Mer, brought their flocks here to graze. In 1919, the property passed into the hands of a family from Gaillan-en-Médoc, but the vines disappeared over time, victims of crises and the frost of 1956. In 1964, a real estate agent acquired the estate, and Jean-Bernard DURET's parents became tenants, opening a new chapter in its history.
