Comment

The Bourg vineyard is located on the right bank of the Gironde estuary, some 35 km north of Bordeaux. The mass of water from the river softens the very sunny microclimate of the hillsides. The soils are mainly clay-limestone. They rest on layers of porous stones which provide good natural drainage. Balanced, elegant, very attractive, the red wines of Côtes de Bourg are generous, full-bodied, aromatic and have a tannic structure which makes them particularly suitable for aging.

Tasting

"Les Charmes de Laurette" has an extremely deep color, purple with black reflections. Elegantly full-bodied, without imbalance, it expresses aromas of small, stewed black fruits, with touches of undergrowth and spices. This selection offers a rather round and tender tannin. Food and wine pairing: cold meats, red meat, game, cooked cheeses. Seafood, fish in sauce, gizzard salad, white meat, pies.
