Château Recougne
On the right bank of the Dordogne, close to Fronsac, Château Recougne in Bordeaux has been linked to vine growing for more than four centuries. Local lore ties its name to King Henri IV’s “recognition” of the wine; in modern terms, the Milhade family has anchored the estate since 1938, passing the work through generations.
Around Galgon, gentle slopes of sandy‑clay over iron‑rich subsoils shape the parcels. Merlot leads the blend, supported by Cabernet varieties; hand harvesting, parcel vinification and clean, measured extraction favour precision. Ageing is shared between tank and oak, with time sur lie to build texture without weight.
Recougne shows Bordeaux Supérieur at its best: disciplined craft, steady freshness and a quiet authority—less about spectacle, more about the calm confidence of a family cellar.Château Recougne
