Gonzague and Claire Lurton respectively took control of their family properties in Bordeaux in 1992 and 1993. Then, in 2012, with an insatiable taste for adventure, they acquired a boutique vineyard in California, ACAIBO, in the famous Sonoma valley. Today Gonzagues and Claire manage the 6 estates, closely looking to their vineyards getting a environmental friendly treatment that takes the exceptional terroir into consideration.
In 2007 and 2009, Biodynamic tests, had been conducted at Haut Bages Liberal and Durfort-Vivens before being extended to all their vineyards. Since 2016 they own 3 out of the 6 Bordeaux classified growths to be led 100% Biodynamic. Respect and efforts are applied to preserve the soil and sub-soil.
