Château Doyac, located in the town of Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, is the property of Max de Pourtalès and the place of his conversion. Indeed, before becoming a winegrower, he worked on the financial markets in Germany and then in France while his wife did theater in New York. Three months after their marriage, they come to Bordeaux where Max begins to study viticulture and oenology. After having cut his teeth at the Château de Malleret, in 1998 he bought this château and its 34 hectares almost in one piece.
Since then, he has renovated and modernized the premises to optimize wine production. When his daughter, Clémence, an ISVV oenologist, joined them in 2016, they converted the vineyard to organic farming then to biodynamics in 2017. The wines have been certified organic since the 2018 vintage, Demeter since the 2019 vintage and Biodyvin since the 2022 vintage.
