The vineyard of the estate is made of a single unit of 48 hectares, planted on clay-limestone soils facing southwest, in the north of Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac. Created during the 1820s, this wine estate has been a Cru bourgeois since the first 1932 rating. Now belonging to the Martin family who has been working in the wine business as an independent winemaker for ages, Chateau La Gorce is a classic of the Médoc appellation.
