Château La Bourguette traces back to the Roman times. During that period, grapes were grown in the areas that Château La Bourguette currently is situated on to make wine. In the 17th Century, the region was occupied by the English and formed part of the Guyenne area. Château La Bourguette formally came into existence then. Château La Bourguette was known for its wine while being the hunting lodge of the Duke of Richmond. During that oxcart period, people would come to Château La Bourguette to trade Dutch hearth-plates for barrels of wine. Some of these plates can still be seen in the fireplaces there. The total area of Château La Bourguette is 29 hectares, of which 19 hectares are planted with vines on well-oriented clay and limestone hillsides. It has choice grape varieties in well proportions that include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc for the reds.
