André Lurton, officer of the National Order of the Legion of Honour
Promoted to the rank of officer of the National Order of the Legion of Honour in July of this year, André Lurton was recently personally awarded this prestigious medal by Stéphane Le Foll, the French Minister of Agriculture.

Minister Le Foll – accompanied by Alain Rousset (President of the Aquitaine region), Senator Gérard César, several members of parliament (Marie Récalde, Gilles Savary, etc.), and members of the Gironde General Council – bestowed this distinction on 24 September 2013 at Château La Louvière in Léognan in homage to André Lurton, founder of the Pessac-Léognan appellation and staunch defender of winegrowing terroirs in Bordeaux. A hundred guests, including numerous fellow winegrowers and key representatives of the wine industry, attended the event. |
