AboutChâteau Segonzac
Château Segonzac was founded in 1887 by Jean Dupuy, a newspaper proprietor who would later become France’s agriculture minister. He equipped the estate with a mechanically driven vat room. Jacques Marmet acquired Segonzac in 1990 and began a sustained programme of renewal in the vineyard and cellar.
The vineyard slopes towards the Gironde, with clay-limestone soils over a thick limestone base. Grapes from older parcels are kept separate in the cellar, with barrel ageing adapted to the different wines.
