Terroir & Winemaking
Located in Laudun-l'Ardoise (Gard, 30), between Bagnols-sur-Cèze and Lirac, Château de Bord spans 22 hectaresand is home to the ruins of a medieval castle overlooking the vineyards.
- Terroir: The vineyard sits on terraced clay-limestone soils, well-drained and south-facing.
- History: Dating back to Roman times, the estate belonged to the Bishops of Uzès in the 11th century, then to the Count of Toulouse, before being abandoned after the French Revolution. It changed ownership several times before being acquired by the Brotte family in 1991.
- Vinification:
- Syrah and Viognier are co-fermented for optimal balance and aged in French oak barrels of various ages.
- Grenache, harvested at peak ripeness, is vinified separately and aged in concrete vats and century-old oak foudres to preserve its fruit expression.
- Bottling takes place in March, after more than a year of aging and light filtration.
Tasting Notes
- On the nose: A delicate balance between fresh red fruits, spices, and exotic notes in its youth, evolving into deeper, more complex aromas over time.
- On the palate: A fresh and round attack, leading to a full-bodied, silky structure with well-integrated tannins. A long and persistent finish with hints of truffle and undergrowth.
Serving Recommendations
- Serving Temperature: 17 °C (63 °F).
- Decanting: Open 1 hour before tasting.
