LIBOURNAIS APPELLATION THE BARREL CELLAR AT CHÂTEAU CASTEL VIAUD of crops”, recounts Laurent Courty, who is tasked with running the family estate. After structuring the vineyards and reaching a total 12 hectares in Lalande-de-Pomerol, “a series of acquisitions and some leased land brought the present-day area under vine up to nearly 16 hectares”. Comprising fine gravel over a sub-soil containing iron oxide, “which lends our wines a very aromatic style driven by black cherry, kirsch and wild strawberry notes”, the soils in Castel Viaud’s vineyards offer the perfect location for Merlot, complemented by 10% Cabernet franc and 10% Cabernet-Sauvignon. Because the crop is entirely destemmed “to lower the tannin content in our wines”, the three Lalandede-Pomerol labels are “fruity and appetising”, matching the “house style” and more importantly, resonating with “current consumer trends favouring this style of wine”. In fact, although Courty sells some of his wines to trading companies, claiming he has “no difficulties in selling them compared with other appellations, the balance of production resonates extremely well with private customers to whom we sell directly, but also via wine merchants and duty free outlets in airports”. CHÂTEAU VIEILLE DYNASTIE: “LALANDE-DE-POMEROL IS AN APPELLATION NOT TO BE MISSED” THE VINEYARDS AT CHÂTEAU VIEILLE DYNASTIE The fifth generation of a family of winegrowers traditionally focusing on production of Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur, Frédéric Borderie joined the family-run company in 2005. The Borderies’ vineyards sweep across nearly 40 hectares, mainly devoted to producing the generic appellation before he arrived on the property. “By buying Château Vieille Dynastie in 2011, we were able to secure some vineyards in Lalande-de-Pomerol”, explains Borderie. One of the unique features of this 6.5-hectare unbroken vineyard is its “entirely gravel-sand soil which is very conducive to growing Cabernet franc and Cabernet-Sauvignon that thrive on it, whereas Merlot can actually suffer”.
