Château La Borie, one of the few domains in Côtes-du-Rhône bearing the name Château, was built in the 17th century. Since then, it has passed through several families and is under the care of the Margnat family today. Situated ten kilometres from the left bank of the Rhône river, the winery produces four wines from its 75 hectares of vines.

La Borie’s Côtes-du-Rhône Villages is a blend of syrah, grenache and mourvèdre sourced from vines over clay and stone. Macerated dark fruits drive the palate of the wine with minerality, spice and chocolate as complements. This is one that’s ready to go now but has nearly a decade of life if you choose to let it age.

This family run vineyard is located in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and is quite literally called the Valley of God (Val de Dieu). Making wine for over 250 years, the soil is grown on gentle slopes with premium sunshine, which allows the grapes to turn rich and juicy. Resting in oak barrels for a year and a half before it gets put in the bottle, this wine is big, bold and fabulous. With intense flavours of dried cherry, leather and chocolate, we recommend pulling this one out for your fanciest dinner.

Winery Estate Manager: Sylvette Brechet

Fifth-generation winery owner, Sylvette has been managing the winery estate since 1987, passing the baton of the ‘Famille Brechet’ legacy by showing the ropes to her sons, Julien and Laurent.

Strap yourselves in for the ultimate ‘power vs finesse’ experience that France has to offer. In Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the greater Rhône, the 2019 vintage produced very high quality fruit which, in the hands of a capable producer like Domaine Georges-Lombriere, you can be assured will impress even the most discerning of wine aficionados. With a 95 point review from Decanter, 12 months in oak before being put to bottle, organic conversion and fruit sourced from vines up to 100 years old, this grenache-dominant blend will entice and deliver. Lashings of blood plum, sweet licorice and ripe cherry and a lively all-spice finish will challenge the senses with every sip. It’s the perfect example of a robust style peppered with elegance and poise.
