Château des Bormettes - Côtes de Provence La Londe L'Argentière 2025

Located just 900 meters from the sea, this family-owned estate of nearly 80 hectares sold its entire production in bulk until Yannick Burles joined as technical director in 2012. Most of the production is now bottled on the estate; exceptional vintages are being produced, and year after year the wines are improving admirably. The vineyard has been carefully restructured, which bodes well for the future of this rising star of the La Londe appellation, which is now contributing to the vibrancy of the wines from this town with undeniable potential. The current team is making these wines shine.

This vineyard, whose existence has been documented since the 10th century, became the property of the Carthusian Fathers of La Verne in 1588. In 1855, Horace Vernet, the official painter to Napoleon III, acquired it and built a château on the estate. In 1920, it was purchased by the Faré family, who still own the estate today. They resumed bottling on the estate in 2010 and, in 2018, entrusted the management of its 65 hectares of vineyards to Julie Barneau and Christophe Deffilippi.
