Laurent Dufau

At a Glance - Voice on vintage potential: “In any case, we have the potential, it will certainly be one of the great vintages.” Across two named estates in Saint-Estèphe, Laurent Dufau’s work in 2013 sat at the level of site management and estate direction: Château Calon-Ségur and Château Capbern Gasqueton. The craft here is coordination of place, not spectacle, with both roles tied to the same commune and the same working year. When speaking on vintage potential, Laurent Dufau kept the assessment plain: “I would say, it is definitely a great vintage.” The language is practical, not decorative, and it frames the vintage as a matter of conditions and response.

In Their Words “In any case, we have the potential, it will certainly be one of the great vintages.” “Fortunately, at Calon we succeeded in managing this problem.”
