Château De Gourdon Details
The Château de Gourdon estate is located in the southern area of the Rhone Valley in France, at the outskirts of the beautiful town of Bollène. Château de Gourdon has a fascinating history. In 1793 the estate was used as the summer residence of Cardinal de La Fare, while the vines were planted a bit less than a century later, in 1870. Today the vineyards are spread on a hilly area of 50 hectares and most of the vines are of the Grenache and Syrah varieties. The vines are planted on slopes with southern exposition, which enables the exposure of the grapes to the sun during the whole day, while the Mistral wind, which is often present, helps the grapes remain healthy and less susceptible to diseases. These factors, combined with the sandy soil, provide for high quality grapes from Château de Gourdon vineyards during every harvest, which, in turn, contributes to the making of complex wines with pronounced aromaticity and character. The winegrowing had always been guided by the principles of utmost respect for the nature and the vines. To the present day, many of the plots have old vines that produce high quality wines that may be tasted in the cellars of the Château's winery. The winery produces wines of several varieties, including Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Carignan. About the micro-location – The estate is situated in the core of the wine region of Southern Rhône, France. It has been named after the eponymous river Rhône, which had been deemed for centuries as the wine artery along which the Ancient Romans started with serious development of viticulture, as well as the production of quality wines such as "Falernian" – a renowned wine in Ancient Rome. Château de Gourdon is surrounded by picturesque vineyards straddling an area of 50 ha, rampant on the gentle slopes of the Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Village appellations at the very border with the world renowned wine sub-region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
