Chateau Couhins, Cru Classé de Graves

Unsere Geschichte

The long and rich centuries crossed by the Château Couhins reveal the story of an authentic and yet singular wine château. Its vineyard, in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan terroir, is one of the largest and oldest „around Bordeaux“. The famous vines of Château Couhins, bordered by the Eau Blanche stream, are cultivated on „a magnificent hilltop, the highest of Villenave d’Ornon“. The inscription of Couhins castle in the architectural landscape is equally remarkable: the agricultural structure of the bourdieu of La Gravette as the manor house of the noble house of Pont de Langon, evolve in unison towards the model of the modern wine castle. The owners of Couhins are attached to their lands, driven by the constant desire to increase them. Betting on their winery, they also appreciate all the bucolic attractions „beautiful outdoors“. Bourgeois, noble, notables, wine merchants succeed each other in Couhins, at the rate of social evolutions in the wine history. Family dynasties for some, original personalities for others, each owner has offered Castle Couhins an unprecedented part of his destiny.

With its historical roots, Château Couhins now deploys all the results of the wine research conducted by INRA. Its research programs and innovative techniques must meet a double and ambitious goal: the quality of wine produced by Château Couhins in respect and preservation of the environment. For these purposes, precision viticulture brings tailor-made knowledge of the Couhins vineyard. Using geographic information technology, various geolocated equipment enables the identification of homogeneous zones of the vine, from which various interventions can be adapted. Integrated farming, aimed at the reduction of inputs, is an equally important lever of progress implemented in the vineyards of Couhins. This strategy involves taking into account all the dimensions of the agro-ecosystem and therefore requires a strong anticipation for the use of the defense product at the most opportune moment. Château Couhins values the excellence of scientific knowledge in the service of a prestigious wine and a sustainable vinegrowing; as many missions presiding over its development and influence
