Château Bourseau

Family Winemakers in the Heart of Bordeaux

Château Bourseau is a family-owned winery nestled in the picturesque Bordeaux region, featuring a 15-hectare vineyard. The Gaboriaud family has been dedicated to producing classic Bordeaux wines using traditional methods since 1976. Today, Véronique Gaboriaud-Bernard and her son François-Xavier manage the estate, with François-Xavier focusing on marketing while Jérôme Gaboriaud oversees vineyard operations. After a comprehensive modernization in 2002, the winery now produces around 50,000 bottles annually, primarily from Merlot grapes, with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. The exceptional quality of their wines often allows for extended aging, particularly in select vintages.

As one of the oldest wineries in the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation, Château Bourseau is steeped in history. The vineyard's terroir showcases the region's unique characteristics, with a blend of gravel and clay soil that contributes to the distinct flavor profiles of their wines. The vineyard's advantageous elevation further enhances the growing conditions, allowing for the production of high-quality wines.

Small-Batch Vinification for Quality Wines

The winemaking process at Château Bourseau emphasizes quality through small-batch vinification. The cellar team utilizes temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, which facilitate precise parcel selection. Notably, one-third of the oak barrels used for aging the wine are replaced each year, ensuring that the wines maintain their freshness and complexity.
