Dulon

Dulon is a family wine producer in Gironde, on the right bank of the Garonne, with a history dating to 1737 and spanning ten generations. Michel Dulon inherited the property from his father in 1970, when it covered 40 hectares. Led by Françoise and Michel, the business was joined in 2012 by their daughters, Sophie and Carole.

Its 150 hectares span three properties, of which Château Grand Jean in Soulignac is the oldest, covering 100 hectares on clay-gravel soils. Vineyard work includes organic fertilizers and Double Guyot pruning, followed by mechanized harvesting outside the hottest hours. Its wines include reds from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, and whites from Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Sémillon. The reds use various tanks and barrels for different profiles, while the whites are aged in stainless steel vats.
