Heritage

Founded in 1802, Château Trimoulet is a Grand Cru estate located in the classified Area 1 of the core appellation of Saint-Émilion, a region celebrated as the world’s first protected wine heritage site and renowned as one of the most prestigious origins on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Château Trimoulet reflects centuries of winemaking tradition and excellence.

In 2016, the estate entered a new chapter when it was acquired by Mr. Laurent Dassault, a figure known for his pursuit of quality and precision. Recognizing the estate’s extraordinary potential, Mr. Dassault entrusted 3.5 hectares of its finest vineyards, along with the château and winery, to the FB Family, ensuring its legacy would be carefully preserved and elevated.

To lead this next phase, Mr. Dassault recommended Ms. Lucie Brun and Mr. Alessandro Grancini, a talented couple with deep roots in winemaking. Lucie comes from a distinguished lineage; both her grandfather and mother served as general managers of the esteemed Château Dassault, instilling in her a profound understanding of viticulture. Alessandro, a gifted winemaker, refined his skills under Mr. Jacques Thienpont, the legendary owner of Le Pin. To further enhance the estate’s offerings, the couple sought the expertise of Jean-Luc Thunevin, the pioneer behind Château Valandraud, and Michel Rolland, one of the world’s most renowned winemakers.

In 2023, Château Trimoulet achieved first place in the prestigious Coupe des Crus de Saint-Émilion, a remarkable recognition of the region’s finest wines. This honor reflects the heartfelt dedication of Lucie and Alessandro, who nurture Château Trimoulet with the care and devotion of loving parents.

Under their thoughtful stewardship, the estate has flourished, blending a deep respect for tradition with meticulous attention to every aspect of winemaking. Their passion and nurturing approach have elevated Château Trimoulet, ensuring its wines not only honor the legacy of Saint-Émilion but also embody the spirit of craftsmanship and care that defines the estate.

We warmly invite you to discover Château Trimoulet, where over two centuries of heritage and artistry are reflected in every sip.
