Le Clos du Notaire

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.
