André Lurton
André Lurton (4 October 1924 – 16 May 2019) was a French winemaker and winery owner. It is also the name of his eponymous winemaking group in Bordeaux which was mostly owned by him and after his death only by his children. Lurton originates from the village of Grézillac in the Gironde department. From the late 1940s, he took an active role in many farming and winemaking organisations, including efforts to relaunch the Syndicat Viticole de l' Entre-Deux-Mers from 1953, and the vice presidency of Syndicat Viticole des Bordeaux et Bordeaux Supérieur from 1965 to 1996. From 1966 to 1986 he was director of Le Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux (CIVB). As president of Syndicat Viticole des Hautes Graves et Bordeaux from 1974 to 1980, of Syndicat Viticole de Pessac et Léognan from 1980 to 1987, and of Syndicat Viticole de Pessac-Léognan from 1987, he was instrumental in creating Pessac-Léognan as a separate appellation to cover the high-end subregion of Graves.

History Once a large and celebrated estate, owned by the Gasqueton-Hanappier families, it was acquired by the ''Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique'' (INRA) in 1968, and André Lurton who had worked at the estate as a ''fermier'' since 1967, bought from INRA a smaller portion of Château Couhins.

People From Gironde
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Château De Barbe Blanche
A château (, ; plural: châteaux) is a manor house, or palace, or residence of the lord of the manor, or a fine country house of nobility or gentry, with or without fortifications, originally, and still most frequently, in French-speaking regions. Nowadays, a ''château'' may be any stately residence built in a French style; the term is additionally often used for a winegrower's estate, especially in the Bordeaux region of France. Definition The word château is a French word that has entered the English language, where its meaning is more specific than it is in French. The French word ''château'' denotes buildings as diverse as a medieval fortress, a Renaissance palace and a fine 19th-century country house. Care should therefore be taken when translating the French word ''château'' into English, noting the nature of the building in question. Most French châteaux are "palaces" or fine "country houses" rather than "castles", and for these, the word "château" is appropria ...
