History

The estate is located in the municipality of Barsac in the Sauternes area in Bordeaux. It has belonged to the Fournier family since 1885 and has been owned by Didier Laulan since 1994 (Broustet-Laulan). In the Bordeaux Classification in 1855 it was classified as a "Deuxième Cru Classé". The vineyards cover 16 hectares and are planted with Sémillon (63%), Sauvignon Blanc (25%) and Muscadelle (12%). The storable noble sweet wine is aged for 20 months in partly new barriques.

In the early 19th century, Monsieur Capdeville, the owner of Château Broustet, acquired the neighbouring estate, Château Nairac. This is why it was referred to as “Broustet-Nairac” when it was ranked a second growth in the 1855 classification.

The Fournier family acquired Château Broustet in the late 19th century and set up a cooperage there. The model for the 225-litre barrique bordelaise, or Bordeaux barrel is said to have been created at Broustet, an explanation backed up by documents in the archives of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce. Fournier launched also the second wine of the estate known as 'Château de Ségur'.

Located in Barsac, this magnificent property has belonged to Vignobles de Terroirs since 2010. The vineyard has two types of soil: clay-limestone and gravel.

At the end of summer, morning mists warmed by the sun are conducive to the early and slow development of noble rot. The pebbles and topazes scattered around the vineyard store the sun’s heat and release it at night, which is ideal for producing overripe grapes. Once botrytised, these are picked by hand in several waves. This results in an outstanding wine.
