Producer Information

Jean-Baptiste Audy is family-run ngociant firm based in Libourne and owner of a number of chteaux estates across Bordeaux’s Right Bank (the appellations on the right bank of the Dordogne river), including properties in Pomerol, Lussac-Saint-milion and Lalande de Pomerol. Operating from its base on the Quai du Priourat on the very banks of the Dordogne in Libourne town (a historic ngociant location JP Janoueix is a neighbor and JP Moueix is a few doors down), Jean-Baptiste Audy also has exclusive trade and distribution partnerships with numerous chteaux. The company is perhaps best known for its ownership of wine estates in nearby appellations. These include: Clos de Clocher (Pomerol), a 4.6 hectare (11 acre) property divided into three plots on iron-rich clay soils, planted to 70 percent Merlot with the remainder Cabernet Franc just outside the hamlet of Catusseau, not far from Le Pin and Vieux Chteau Certan; Chteau Bonalgue (Pomerol), a 9.4 hectare (23 acre) estate at the southwestern end of the appellation, on the outskirts of Libourne, planted to 90 percent Merlot and ten percent Cabernet Franc; Chteau Monregard La Croix (Pomerol), a 1.3 hectare (3.2 acre) plot of Merlot that was originally part of the wider Clos du Clocher property but on sandier soils and is now vinified separately; Chteau du Courlat (Lussac-Saint-milion), one of Audy’s top chteaux, the 17-hectare (42-acre) Courlat is planted predominantly to Merlot, with a fraction of Cabernet Franc. The estate also produces Cuve Jean-Baptise from the best parcels on the property which is aged for 20 months in French oak. A ros Le Ros du Courlat is also produced; Chteau Les Hauts-Conseillants (Lalande de Pomerol), a ten-hectare (25 acre) property covering two vineyards, one in Nac and one in Lalande de Pomerol, planted to around 90 percent Merlot and ten percent Cabernet Franc. For some of its estates, Audy employs the services of renowned enologist Michel Rolland’s wine consultancy firm. The company was founded in 1906 by Jean-Baptiste Audy, and today is run by his great-grandson, Jean-Baptiste Bourotte. As well as distribution deals with a number of estates across the wider Bordeaux region, the firm also produces a number of ngoce labels including the likes of Audy Bordeaux rouge and Jean Baptiste Audy Brut a Crmant de Bordeaux.
