The Bordeaux terroir is world-renowned for its exceptional red wines, but some, like Dubreuil Chardonnay, turn convention on its head. Immerse yourself in this singular white wine, born of Benoit Trocard’s passion and love for the Chardonnay grape.
Le Terroir et la Vigne: Grapes for a Vision
Located in Saint Christophe des Bardes, the Dubreuil estate covers 1.27 hectares. Planted in 2010, the vines are planted on north-facing slopes, cradled by clay-limestone soil. These elements guarantee an ideal environment for Chardonnay to flourish, providing perfect ripeness to the grapes, picked between September 12 and 14.
