The Wine
Established in the 1800s, this top Barsac estate has been in the Dubourdieu family since 1924. It only had 4 hectares of vines then, but gradually, over the years, the family have bought more top sites. Denis Dubourdieu took over in 2000, the third generation of his family. Until his passing in 2016, he was regarded as one of Bordeaux's finest, most innovative winemakers.
