Richard Lourmet — independent web developer serving Léognan since 2019. Bilingual FR/EN websites for AOC Pessac-Léognan châteaux, e-commerce for direct wine sales, and local SEO for all Léognan businesses. One point of contact, 49 five-star reviews.
Léognan is the epicentre of the AOC Pessac-Léognan appellation — home to over 30 classified wine estates, several of which rank among Bordeaux's greatest. As an independent developer, I offer châteaux and local businesses a bespoke bilingual digital presence built to attract international collectors, wine tourists and local clients alike.
"A Léognan château deserves a website as prestigious as its wines — bilingual, fast, and found by the international audiences who are actively searching for Pessac-Léognan grands crus online."
Léognan is the jewel of the AOC Pessac-Léognan appellation — a small commune of 9,000 inhabitants hosting more than 30 classified wine estates. The international reputation of these grands crus draws collectors and wine lovers from across Europe, Asia and North America, all of whom discover châteaux primarily through digital search.
Léognan's 9,000 residents live among vine-covered hillsides and historic châteaux. Local tradespeople, artisans and service businesses here serve both the residential community and the wine estate ecosystem — a dual market that rewards professional online visibility in both French and English.
Reach this marketLéognan hosts the greatest concentration of AOC Pessac-Léognan grand cru classé estates, including Château Haut-Bailly, Domaine de Chevalier, Château Carbonnieux and many more. These internationally recognised estates attract wine lovers, négociants and collectors who search online before contacting or visiting — making a bilingual web presence essential.
Build your château siteThe AOC Pessac-Léognan appellation, created in 1987, is one of Bordeaux's most prestigious — and the only one to produce both world-class red and white grands crus. International buyers, particularly from the UK, USA, Belgium and Asia, actively search for these wines and estates online. A bilingual e-commerce site opens direct sales channels to these global audiences.
Sell direct worldwide30+ grands crus classés concentrated in a single commune — Léognan. A château without a bilingual, professional website and an e-commerce presence is invisible to the international collectors and oenotourists actively searching for Pessac-Léognan wines online.
Large agencies often apply generic templates that fail to capture a château's unique identity and heritage. As an independent developer, I work directly with you — understanding your estate's story, your cuvées, your positioning — and build a site that is as distinctive as your wine. You deal with one person from brief to launch.
Yes — this is my core specialism in Léognan. I build bilingual FR/EN websites for AOC Pessac-Léognan châteaux — from elegant showcase sites presenting your estate, history and cuvées, to e-commerce modules for direct wine sales to French and international buyers. Optimised for "château Léognan", "buy Pessac-Léognan wine online" and related searches.
Absolutely. I build e-commerce sites without Shopify or WooCommerce — no platform commission on your sales, 100% ownership. A bilingual shop that sells directly to collectors in France, the UK, Belgium and beyond — integrated with your estate's visual identity and updated easily for each new vintage.
A bilingual showcase site for a château starts from €1,200 incl. VAT. E-commerce integration from €2,200 incl. VAT. A one-page site for a local business starts at €650 incl. VAT. Hosting at €30/month. All prices are transparent and agreed upfront — no surprises.
A bilingual showcase site in 3 to 4 weeks. E-commerce integration in 4 to 6 weeks. A one-page site for a local business in 7 to 10 working days. Timelines are agreed upfront and respected — I work on a limited number of projects at a time.
Yes, 100%. The code, domain name and all content belong entirely to you — the château or the business. There is no mandatory subscription, no exclusivity contract, no platform commission. You can transfer your site to another provider at any time.
A Léognan château without a bilingual website loses international buyers to competitors who invested. A local tradesperson without a website loses jobs every day. The difference? I know the Léognan market — the wine culture, the international clientele, the dual residential and estate economy — and I outsource nothing.
