Château Fourcas-Hosten, listening to nature

Since 1810, Château Fourcas Hosten has extended its history to constantly reinvent itself. It is a place in heritage composed today of an 18th century charterhouse set in a 3-hectare park adjoining a vineyard of around 50 hectares which benefits from a beautiful microclimate, between the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean.

Since 2006, alongside Laurent and Renaud Momméja, the estate team has been leading the ambitious project to anchor the property in the future by providing it with all the means to best express its terroir.

The property is part of a global improvement and transmission process. This vision takes on its full meaning through its strong and complete environmental commitment, concerned about future generations. Production methods have been greatly transformed, in the management of the vine, as in winemaking. . In 2017 at Château Fourcas Hosten, organic viticulture is applied to 25 hectares, of which 66% of the vineyard is red. The 2017 vintage is the first to be HVE3 certified and won a gold medal at the Brussels world competition.

Since then, the entire estate, 50 ha, has been certified organic. Organic farming methods are complemented by the practice of biodynamics.

Château Fourcas Hosten is a member of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux, the Bordeaux Wine Academy and the Commanderie du Bontemps du Médoc, Graves, Sauternes and Barsac.
