Château la Borie

In the midst of forests, truffle trees and lavender fields, Chateau La Borie is one of the rare wineries in the Rhone to be a chateau as well. Built in the 18th century, the castle is built on a hill and is surrounded by 170 acres of vines.

Built in the 18th century by descendants of the Princes of Orange Louis Charles de la Baume Suze family, the château is built on a hillock surrounding a 110-hectare estate, including 65 hectares of vines. The vineyard produces red, white and rosé Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages, IGP Méditerranée and Vin de France wines. The climate is Mediterranean, with long, hot, sunny summers. The estate's soils are derived from ancient Quaternary and Miocene sedimentary formations. The wide variety of soils on the estate (sand, grey clay, red clay, limestone gravel) enables us to achieve maximum complexity in our blends. The majority of our vines are Syrah and Grenache. They are complemented by minor grape varieties (Cinsault, Marselan, Mourvèdre) that enhance the personality of the wines. While the estate plays the wine tourism card locally, Château La Borie wines are served at the finest tables around the world. The Knapp family has been present on the estate since 2018.
