Château La Bourrée
Château La Bourrée sits in the Libournais, Bordeaux's right-bank heartland where Merlot thrives in clay-rich soils. The winery produces Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects the region's signature character: supple tannins, dark fruit, and the structural elegance typical of this appellation. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator have both assessed the winery's output, recognizing the precision of its blending approach. Castillon, positioned between the Dordogne River and Saint-Émilion, offers a more mineral expression than its famous neighbors—leaner, more austere, with the tension that comes from limestone bedrock. La Bourrée's wines embody this terroir: focused, balanced, and built for the table rather than the trophy case.
