Vignobles Ducourt

Other little stories

"Our wines are characterized by finesse, elegance, precision and delicacy. Sharing and discovering them with the passion that drives us is one of the best moments of our profession! Our grandfather Henri, driven by this passion for wine and a spirit of entrepreneurship, is at the origin of many investments and innovations. We're trying to keep him on his way. To move forward continuously, as we did with Jean-Pierre, the owner of the Tupina in Bordeaux, who led to the launch of Blanc Limé, and with Aaron Pott, when I went to work in Napa Valley in 2007. These characters of wine and gastronomy have brought me various visions and make me want to stay in this dynamic and passion every day."

"Included on each of our labels, Crocodiles are the symbol of the entrepreneurial spirit inspired by our grandfather Henri Ducourt and which still accompanies the steps of each member of our family today. But do you know where it comes from? One day, as much out of derision as out of admiration, a friend's son drew a crocodile on a panel depicting Henri Ducourt's tenacity, lucidity, composure and entrepreneurial spirit, then planted this panel prominently in his neighbour's now extensive vineyards. Amused, Henri Ducourt was inspired by this crocodile during the reconstruction of our cellars and asked us to decorate the new tanks with it. It was therefore only natural that we decided a little later to include them on all our labels, as a symbol of his passion for creation and the origins of our family in the Entre-deux-Mers."
