Château Laroche Joubert is a family property owned for several generations and now managed by Joel Dupuy.

In the Middle Ages Bourg was a major wine port and its vineyard spread along the bank of the estuary as the life and trade of the river grew. The Côtes de Bourg appellation made its debut on the right bank of the Gironde, to the north of Bordeaux’s patchwork of vineyards.

Situated 30km north of Bordeaux, the vineyard is spread over 15 villages surrounding the small town of Bourg-sur-Gironde and its terroir is very varied. The undulating region is composed of claylimestone, silty and sandy soils, and the appellation benefits from a very favourable dry and temperate microclimate.
