Château Bourseau

Château Bourseau is part of Vignobles Gaboriaud, just like Château Matras. Both have been family-owned since 1962, and Véronique Gaboriaud-Bernard has been managing the vineyards since 1976.

Château Bourseau’s very old vineyard is known as one of the best in Lalande de Pomerol, situated on a gravelly ridge similar to that of Pomerol. The 10 hectares that make up the vineyard, with an average vine age of 45 years, are planted with 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. The terroir is predominantly gravelly, with some plots consisting of clay-gravel.

The vines at Château Bourseau are cultivated with respect for the ecosystem and the terroir. Winemaking and aging are carried out with the utmost care, combining tradition with modern techniques. The old winery, dating from 1960, was completely renovated in 2002. Winemaking takes place in small stainless-steel tanks, allowing for plot-by-plot selection. Aging occurs in oak barrels, one-third of which are replaced each year.
