Château Rahoul

In 1646, Chevalier Guillaume Rahoul built a lovely manor house which he named after himself. The vineyards were expanded in the late XVIII century by Pierre Balguerie, the first prefect of the Gers department, who turned Chateau Rahoul into a fully-fledged winegrowing estate.

A STORY

In a few words

Thanks to English, Australian, and Danish owners, Château Rahoul attained international recognition starting in the 1970s, when the estate was given the nickname “United Nations“.

Alain Thiénot, originally from Champagne, who already owned vineyards in Bordeaux bought Rahoul in 1986 and undertook an ambitious modernisation programme.

In 2007, Dourthe joined the Thiénot group, reflecting a major step forward in their uncompromising approach to quality in the vineyard and cellar. The estate has been Terra Vitis-certified since 2016, confirming its commitment to sustainable agriculture.
