Comment

The commune of Bourg, often called Bourg-sur-Gironde, owes its fame in large part to its vineyard which produces a wine with controlled designation of origin, Côtes-de-bourg on some 3,920 hectares of planted surface on around 550 farms, for an annual production of around 220,000 hectoliters of red wine and 1,200 hectoliters of white wine.

Tasting

Ruby color, nose of small red fruits. Supple, ample mouthfeel with silky and melted tannins, all deliciousness. Delicious and pleasant wine to drink.
