We are immeditely charmed by the location of the vineyard, set above the
confluent of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, a strategic position with an
excellent micro-climate for the vines planted on hillsides with a
clay-limestone sub-soil and lots of gravel. The 20 hectares of vines on
this family estate are managed using the "reasonable pest-control" approach.
1/3 of the vines are over 30 years old and some plots even reach the
venerable age of 50 years old. The grapes produced here are rich in aromas,
and Richard Charbonnier, a skilled wine-maker, masters the production
process. The wines are of great quality, have excellent balance and are
seductive, flavoursome and full of charm. This know-how is much appreciated
among the knowledgeable clientele and has won many medals and the praises of
the various wine guides.
You should taste the Côtes-de-Bourg, remarkable with its beautiful
garnet-red colour, its solid tannic base, flesh and richness and notes of
spices and underwood. A wine which you will have to wait for if you want to
enjoy its full potential.
