Astrid de Pourtalès takes care of the management of the winery and is involved in all kinds of work in the vineyard and the cellars as well. She is more precisely in charge of making the herbal teas and decoctions which are used in biodynamics to be sprayed on the vines.
Max de Pourtalès, owner and manager of château Doyac, manages the whole team and oversees the work in the cellars and the vineyard. He is also involved in the relationship with customers and salespeople.
Clémence de Pourtalès, their daughter, oenologist with a diploma from the ISVV in Bordeaux, has decided in 2016 to come and work in the family winery as technical director. She works in the vineyard as well as in the cellars.
The 4 Kune-Kune pigs—Ginger, Prêle, Ortie, and Tirelire—joined the estate in February 2023. Their small size and peaceful nature enable them to work efficiently between the rows of vines, naturally weeding while preserving the soil.
The former vineyard manager, Rachid Tarbouch, created his own vineyard services business and now he takes part in the vineyard works such as pruning the vines, removing unwanted shoots. It enables the team of château Doyac to focus on the mechanical work in the vineyard such as working the soils and treating the vines.
