List of products by brand CHATEAU HAUT COUREY
Château Haut Courey represents a particular vision of the Médoc: a human-scale vineyard rooted in clay-limestone terroir, producing structured, appellation-faithful reds just 25 km from the city of Bordeaux. Small in surface, serious in intent.
A 1.4 ha vineyard in the heart of the Haut-Médoc
Positioned midway between Bordeaux and Pauillac, Château Haut Courey occupies a geographically privileged spot within the Haut-Médoc appellation. With just 1.4 hectares under vine, this is one of the more intimate properties in the Médoc — a scale that demands precision at every stage, from canopy management to harvest decisions. The soils here are argilo-calcaire (clay-limestone), a classic Médoc substrate that provides both good drainage and the mineral backbone that gives structured red wines their characteristic grip and longevity.
Terroir and grape varieties
The encépagement at Château Haut Courey follows the great Médoc tradition: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc form the blend, each variety contributing its own register — the structure and dark fruit of Cabernet Sauvignon, the roundness and early approachability of Merlot, and the aromatic lift and fine tannins of Cabernet Franc. On clay-limestone soils, this combination produces wines of real typicity: firm but not austere, with the kind of Médoc character that rewards patience in the cellar.
Traditional vinification and barrel élevage
The winemaking approach at this château is resolutely traditional. Fermentation follows time-honoured methods, and the wines are then aged for 14 months in barrel — a significant commitment for a property of this size, and one that speaks to the seriousness of the project. This extended élevage allows the wine to integrate, develop complexity, and acquire the subtle oak influence that is a hallmark of well-made Haut-Médoc. The result is a wine that punches well above its modest surface area.

Why we have selected Château Haut Courey
At Halles Quercamps, we have always been drawn to small, rigorous properties that express their terroir honestly — and Château Haut Courey fits that profile precisely. We selected this château for three reasons: the quality and consistency of its viticulture on clay-limestone soils, the seriousness of a 14-month barrel élevage that few estates of this size would undertake, and the genuine Haut-Médoc typicity it delivers vintage after vintage.
This is a château for the confirmed Bordeaux enthusiast who values authenticity over reputation — someone who would rather discover a well-kept secret than pay a premium for a famous label. At the table, these wines are well suited to roast lamb, duck confit, or a well-aged hard cheese. They also reward a few years in the cellar, where the tannins soften and the secondary aromas begin to emerge.
