This is Château Hauchecorne,named after a previous owner. When Philippe Ferrier bought Château Duplessis from Marie-Laure Lurton (who wanted to concentrate on the excellent Villegeorge and La Tour de Bessan) in 2015, he decided to vinify these vineyards (Garbejac and Morère) separately. Therefore, Hauchecorne is not to be confounded with the second wine of Duplessis, named "Esprit de Duplessis". Merlot and Cabernet Franc according to the back label. Solid dark red colour. Juicy red fruits,with a nice tannic bite. Can be enjoyed young with food, but I expect this to age well up to a decade. Another great Bordeaux value. Abv 14%. — 12 days ago

2011 vintage. A bit more power compared to La Tour de Bessan 2011, and I believe Villegeorge will make older bones. — 4 months ago

Acquired in 1973 by Lucien Lurton, today the Château de Villegeorge belongs to his daughter, Marie-Laure, Oenologist, working at domain since 1986. Rich berry aromas with floral and spices, very pleasant. On the palate blueberry and wild berry flavors with licorice and toasty oak notes. Lingering rich finish on soft juicy tannins, drinking well and still has room to go. Very Nice. — 6 years ago

1997 vintage. A nice surprise in a vintage that was not highly regarded. Today, the 1997 outshined the 2000 La Tour de Bessan. Wonderful tasting with Marie-Laure Lurton, who kindly opened older vintages of La Tour de Bessan and Villegeorge. Unfortunately the 1961 Villegeorge was corked but one could tell the structure of the wine,it should be great from a good bottle. — 4 months ago

Harmonie is a blend of 3 different vintages of Château de Villegeorge,to celebrate 3 generations of Lurton ownership. While we are not informed about the exact vintages, it is obviously a blend of mature wines with younger vintages. Therefore, it tastes old and young at the same time. Deep red with orange rim. Black fruit goes hand in hand with more tertiary aromas. An intriguing and original wine, fresh and elegant, in harmony with the complexity of a well-aged older wine. Abv. 13%. 9000 bottles produced. — 8 months ago
