List of products by brand CHATEAU DU CORNET

Situated in Soulignac, in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers, Château du Cornet is a 17-hectare property on clay-gravel soils producing AOC Bordeaux red and white wines. The GAEC Dupouy has farmed this land for five generations, maintaining a traditional approach to winemaking guided by a consulting oenologist, across a range of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sémillon and Muscadelle. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the consistency of its reds and whites, the honest, unfussy work in the cellar, and the deep-rooted commitment of a Gironde family that has cultivated the same ground for over a century. A genuine terroir Bordeaux, without pretension.

Château du Cornet represents some of the most dependable winemaking the Bordeaux region has to offer: a five-generation family property rooted in the clay-gravel soils of the Entre-deux-Mers, producing red and white AOC Bordeaux wines of admirable consistency under the stewardship of the Dupouy family.

Five generations on the same Gironde soil

The commune of Soulignac, tucked between the Garonne and the Dordogne in the Gironde, provides Château du Cornet with a terroir well suited to the production of honest, characterful Bordeaux. The Dupouy family — operating today as GAEC Dupouy — has farmed this land continuously across five generations, a tenure that speaks to both the quality of the site and the family's unwavering attachment to it. This is not a château that has changed hands or reinvented itself for fashion; it is a property that has evolved steadily, generation by generation, on the strength of accumulated knowledge and a genuine understanding of its land.

Terroir: clay-gravel soils across 17 hectares

The estate covers 17 hectares of graves argileuses — clay-gravel soils that are a hallmark of the Entre-deux-Mers plateau. These well-drained yet moisture-retaining soils are ideally suited to the grape varieties cultivated here: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc for the reds, and Sémillon and Muscadelle for the whites. The balance between drainage and water retention that clay-gravel provides is particularly valuable in the variable Atlantic climate of the Gironde, helping to produce wines of reliable structure and freshness across vintages.

Traditional winemaking with expert guidance

Vinification at Château du Cornet follows a traditional approach, with the reassurance of a consulting oenologist overseeing each vintage. This combination — family continuity in the vineyard, professional rigour in the cellar — is precisely what produces the kind of dependable, well-made Bordeaux that rewards the attentive buyer. There are no gimmicks here, no heavy-handed oak programmes or over-extracted styles: the aim is to express the terroir of Soulignac cleanly and honestly in both the red and white ranges.

The wines of Château du Cornet

The château produces two colours under the AOC Bordeaux appellation:

• Bordeaux Rouge — a Merlot-led blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, offering the approachable fruit and gentle structure typical of well-made Entre-deux-Mers reds; suited to medium-term cellaring as well as early drinking.
• Bordeaux Blanc — a blend of Sémillon and Muscadelle, producing a fresh, aromatic dry white with the characteristic liveliness of the Entre-deux-Mers style.

Why we have selected Château du Cornet

At Halles Quercamps, we look for producers who deliver on their terroir without artifice, and the Dupouy family does exactly that. We have listed Château du Cornet for three reasons: the consistency of quality across both colours and across vintages; the integrity of the winemaking, which respects the fruit and the soil rather than masking them; and the depth of family commitment to a single plot of Gironde land over more than a century. This is a château we recommend to customers who want a reliable, honest Bordeaux for everyday enjoyment or for stocking a practical cellar. The red pairs well with roast lamb, duck confit or a well-aged hard cheese; the white is a natural companion to grilled fish, goat's cheese or a simple charcuterie spread.
