Birth of the Fourcas Dupré name
Welcome to the heart of the Médoc, a name synonymous with joie de vivre amid the great Bordeaux wine region. Our estate and your wine are part of a special history within a bucolic setting 35 km from Bordeaux. At the beginning of the 13th century, vines appeared at the locality of “Fourcas”, as noted in the cartographic work by the geographer Pierre de Belleyme during the reign of Louis XV. The name “Fourcas Dupré” came into being in 1843 when Maître Jean Antoine Dupré became the owner. Taken over by the Pagès family in 1970, the estate continued to uphold the same ethos of precision, expertise and passion.
In 2019, Breton entrepreneur Gérard Jicquel purchased the estate. A long-time wine afficionado, he has a strong passion for Bordeaux wines.

Owner: Mr Jicquel
The Listrac-Médoc appellation, at the tip of the Médoc peninsula, enjoys an exceptional terroir, and the vines of the Château are no exception. A holder of HVE 1 (High Environmental Value) certification since 2019, the Château Fourcas Dupré vineyard covers a single estate of 46 hectares.
The entire area has AOC classification.
The summer of 2019 saw Gérard Jicquel become the new owner. Co-founder and former Managing Director of the Samsic services group, which operates in more than 20 countries, he decided to live out his dream after a 30-year-long career by purchasing the Château Fourcas Dupré.
Supported by a talented and motivated team, he aims to produce wine full of character, worthy of standing alongside the greats of the Médoc. In this spirit, and with the people who work here, he wishes to create an innovative and welcoming château.
Located in Listrac-Medoc, the Château Fourcas Dupré invites you on a journey back in time where tradition and modernity go hand in hand. Don’t hesitate to come and see our installations. Our team will be happy to welcome you during your private tours and tasting sessions, whether you’re with family or friends, or on a business trip.
The Listrac plateau dominates the Médoc at an altitude of 42 metres. It is the oldest geological layer in the Médoc and is nicknamed the “toit du Médoc” (the rooftop of the Médoc). The Listrac-Médoc appellation is one of the six prestigious local appellations of the Haut-Médoc. With Margaux, Moulis, Saint-Julien, Pauillac and Saint-Estèphe, they constitute the finest terroirs.
Now holding HVE 1 (High Environmental Value) certification, the Château Fourcas Dupré aims to obtain level 3 of this certification (the highest level) by 2023.
