The combination of south-facing terraces, old vines, low yields, and more than 1 year of aging gives this wine a full-bodied, spicy, and layered style. The striking blend makes it particularly interesting: ripe red and black fruit, floral lift, pepper, depth, and a long, savory finish come together beautifully here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"1785\" data-end=\"1808\"\u003eVineyards and Region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"1869\"\u003eChâteau de Bord is located in Laudun, within the Southern Rhône.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1871\" data-end=\"2103\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1871\" data-end=\"1894\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The vineyard is located in Laudun l’Ardoise in the Gard, between Bagnols sur Cèze and Lirac. This is a warm part of the Southern Rhône where red wines can develop a lot of ripeness, spiciness, and concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2105\" data-end=\"2283\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2105\" data-end=\"2119\"\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e The estate covers 22 hectares of terraces on a south-facing slope.

This ancient marine origin gives the wine extra tension in addition to its ripe fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2474\" data-end=\"2656\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2474\" data-end=\"2496\"\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e The vines are approximately 40 years old and yield a low output of 35 hl\/ha. This ensures more concentrated fruit and greater depth in the final wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2658\" data-end=\"2872\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2658\" data-end=\"2678\"\u003eVineyard Management:\u003c\/strong\u003e The vineyard is Terra Vitis and HVE 3 certified.

Château de Bord came into the family's hands in 1991, who immediately recognized the potential in the location and the old vineyards of Laudun. The historic estate fits well with Brotte: making Rhône wines with clear origin, plenty of ripe fruit, and a style that combines tradition with modern precision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eigen Import","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45455888154703,"sku":"5781","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/MaisonBrotteChateaudeBordLaudunRouge2022.webp?v=1781080957","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/products\/maison-brotte-chateau-de-bord-laudun-rouge-2022","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
