Chateau Dauzac is a winery in the Margaux appellation of the Bordeaux region of France, in the commune of Labarde.
Chateau Dauzac was classified as one of eighteen Cinquiemes Crus (Fifth Growths) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
In the 1880s, the trials which led to the development of the Bordeaux mixture to combat downy mildew mostly took place in the vineyards of Chteau Dauzac. They were conducted by professor Pierre-Marie-Alexis Millardet, assisted by Dauzac's technical director Ernest David. Since 1988, the Chateau Dauzac estate has belonged to the insurance company MAIF, but is managed by the Andre Lurton group. In 2004, his daughter Christine Lurton-Bazin de Caix took charge of the property.
The domaine comprises 297 acres (120 ha), of which 111 acres (45 ha) are planted to 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. The average age of vines is around 30 years.
The Chteau produces the main wine, Chteau Dauzac, from the 104 acres (42 ha) planted in the Margaux appellation, as well as a second wine named La Bastide Dauzac. The estate also owns 7.5 acres (3.0 ha) in the Haut-Mdoc appellation, from which it produces a third wine, Chteau Labarde.
