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.

The very old vineyard at Château Bourseau is known as one of the best in Lalande de Pomerol, situated on a gravelly hill 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. The winemaking and aging processes are carried out with the utmost care, combining tradition with modern techniques. The old winery, dating from 1960, was completely renovated in 2002. Vinification 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.
