Producer Information

Separator The History of the Château The origin of Château Bel Orme Tronquoy-de-Lalande dates back to the end of the 18th century when the Château's wooded park gave it its name: "Bel Orme". Designed in 1750 by Victor Louis, the famous architect of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, it was not until the 19th century that the Tronquoy-de-Lalande family gave its first letters of nobility to the vineyard which then became "Château Bel Orme Tronquoy-de-Lalande". In 1936, as a wedding present by her husband, Paul Quié, Lucienne was to choose between two properties: Château Pichon Baron, a famous 1855 classified Grand Cru, or Château Bel Orme Tronquoy-de-Lalande, a modest Cru Bourgeois from the Haut-Médoc appellation. Charmed by the beautiful manor house overlooking the Gironde estuary, she elected Château Bel Orme Tronquoy-de-Lalande. Sitting on the heights of the village of Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, this haven of peace is still today the new generation's family home. In 1968, when his father died, Jean-Michel was only 24 years old when he took over the command of the wine estate. Under the influence of this man of character and conviction, the property underwent a vast renovation and modernisation programme. Inspired by the same passion as his father and aware of these soils' potential, he undertook the vineyard's complete restructuring with a precise and adapted grapevine selection. This visionary at heart is perpetuating his father's work, whose aim has always been to improve his wines' quality and complexity. In 2000, his children, Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe, decided to take part in the family wine heritage. For 20 years now, alongside their older brother Paul-Henri, an architect by training, they have pursued the evolution of the Château. In 2012, a whole new focus generated a new prospective approach. Château Rauzan-Gassies and Château Bel Orme Tronquoy-de-Lalande, which had been very discreet until then, unite their destiny. From then on, the estate took on a whole new dynamic. Like its illustrious elder, the third generation of the family perpetuates the groundwork laid by previous generations and commits the wine estate to ecologically sound agriculture to pass on this living heritage.
