Why it matters
The producer
Roman colonization of the Gordonne region dates to the 1st century BC. Between 1650 and 1663, the estate took the name La Gordonne from Councillor Gourdon, its latest owner. In 1850, major renovations transformed the château and its outlying buildings, after which the estate began commercial wine production.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
The estate sits in Provence, and its 2024 rosé carries the Côtes de Provence appellation. The vineyard forms a seaward facing amphitheatre of shale. The Mistral sweeps across the vines, protecting them from disease pressure caused by damp conditions.
