The vines are dominated by the ruins of the Château de Bord, a seigniorial
whose long history can be traced back to the 11th century. Property
of the bishops of Uzés, then the Count de Toulouse, it will have
changed hands on several occasions before being abandoned, then
reduced to ruin during the Revolution. Stone after stone, the walls
of the Castle were rebuilt. With an infinite patience, its owners
try to restore to the Castle, if not its former grandeur, at least
its dignity, by ridding it of the undergrowth which surrounded it
during the centuries.
From the top of the hill, one discovers the vineyard.
Sixteen hectares planted in Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault, one collects
here a wine whose color of ruby announces a bouquet from fruit cores,
supported by hints of spices, with a good structure on the palate.
It is characterized by well melted tanins and a great elegance.
The Château de Bord, to be tasted at a temperature of 16°C approximately,
will accompany red meats, roasts and cheeses.
