Although wines have been made at Bournac since the beginning of 20th century, vines were not the property’s main crop until Pierre Secret took charge in 1975. In 1982 Hubert and Didier Secret – the eldest sons – decided to create a new vineyard and devote themselves entirely to making the best possible wine. They invested heavily, with the sole aim to produce high quality wine: Ch. La Chandellière. After Pierre Secret, his youngest son Bruno took over the estate from 1990 to the 2007 vintage. Pierre Secret’s grandsons Guillaume and Thibaud joined them to continue to produce Ch. Bournac. All four share the various tasks: Didier and Guillaume look after vineyards; Hubert makes the wine at Ch. La Chandellière and Thibaud at Ch. Bournac, but all decisions are made by common agreement. These generations of the Secret family have dedicated themselves to these Médoc Crus Bourgeois.
