Château Lagorce

The oldest tower has walls 1.2 meters thick, and both of these features helped it to defend itself, as it became embroiled in feudal wars during the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries.

Their signature is preserved in a keystone in the form of a coat of arms uniting the Montaudon and Cursol family.

After the French Revolution, in 1793, Francois Galatheau sold Lagorce to Hyacinthe Feger, whose nephew Pierre resold the property in 1802 "in a very bad state" to Elie Faux, a local wine producer.

The Faux family undertook important excavation works and planted Barsac and Sauternes vines.

Edd Holmes & his wife Anna have also created their own very successful YouTube series: Bordeaux Life which chronicles the continuing restoration of this historic property along with glimpses of the wedding venue business they have established there.
