From Abbey to Wine Estate

Château Le Clos du Notaire is dedicated to showcasing the exceptional terroir of the Bordeaux region by producing high-quality wines. Located in Bourg-sur-Gironde, just north of Bordeaux, the estate is managed by Amélie Osmond and Victor Mischler. The name pays homage to Henri Coutin, a notary and son-in-law of the estate's first owner, Maître Menard. Interestingly, this site was home to an abbey in the 14th century before it transformed into a winery. In 2018, Château Le Clos du Notaire achieved full organic certification for its wine production. The estate employs sustainable practices to combat soil erosion and enhance soil structure using beneficial microorganisms. Biodiversity is a key focus, with flowering fallow planted to attract pollinators. They are also experimenting with biodynamic methods, taking lunar phases into account during vineyard management.

The Benefits of Regional Location and Soil Influence

Château Le Clos du Notaire is part of the Côtes de Bourg appellation, where the vines thrive near the confluence of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers. This proximity to the estuary, combined with south-facing slopes, creates a unique microclimate that offers more sunlight than other regions. This advantageous climate helps protect the vines from storms and frost, while a gentle breeze keeps the leaves dry, reducing the risk of disease.

Award-Winning Wines

The winery produces a selection of three red wines, one rosé, and a sparkling wine. The primary grape varieties include Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with Sémillon for their Crémant de Bordeaux sparkling wine. The wines have received high praise and numerous awards, including a gold medal for the Château Le Clos du Notaire 2012 at the Gilbert Gaillard and 2017 Tasting Contest.

Very warm and professional welcome for this weekend in Bourg for a wedding. Amélie was very accommodating in adapting to our schedules. The cottage is perfectly clean, pleasantly furnished and very well equipped. The bedding is ideally comfortable. The only regret, in February, was not being able to enjoy the swimming pool!! We highly recommend

The wines are delicious and you can feel the love of the producers in them. The gîtes are very welcoming, nothing is missing, the bedding is very very pleasant, so much so that you will forget to get up to go visit the charming village. Thank you Amelie and Victor for your welcome and your sharing.

Great week of vacation with friends spending with Amelie and Victor, the cottage is just perfect we were with 6 young children and there was everything needed on site to keep them occupied, the bedding is just perfect, nothing to complain about, we were able to enjoy the swimming pool every day the weather was great and sunny all week. A must-visit tour of the estate followed by the tasting, Sandra gave us a great tour, it was very interesting and the wines are just excellent. Thanks again to Amelie for her warm welcome, super cool in listening to her hosts. I recommend 100%.

Tastefully decorated cottages with almost luxurious furnishings contrast with the simplicity of the place and their owners. Here we respect the earth, the rhythm of nature, we explain why and this is verified in the bottle! The wine is excellent, the property sublime and Bourg sur Gironde was the big surprise of this stay. Thanks for everything!

We spent a great week at Amélie and Victor's gîte (from August 13 to 20, 2022). I recommend it without hesitation!! The cottage is tastefully decorated, well equipped and the bedding is Top from Top. Amélie is very kind and attentive, always ready to provide information and advise. It's a shame that the weather wasn't good every day, it prevented us from taking full advantage of the magnificent swimming pool made available to us. Just a small downside on the activities nearby which are quite restricted for young people, many revolve around wine. The wine from the property is very good! Very pretty area!!
