Paul Meynieu, the great-grandfather
Formerly part of the feudal Loirac seigneury, Château Laulan Ducos passed through many hands until 1911, at which time Marguerite Cruon left the estate to Paul Meynieu – great- grandfather of Francis Ducos, who took over ownership in 1983.
Subsequent to his accidental death in 1997, Francis Ducos’ wife and two sons have continued his work.
