Dourthe
Dourthe are one of the best and most successful wine producers in Bordeaux. They own a number of leading chateaux throughout Bordeaux including the Bordeaux Superieur, Chateau Pey La Tour, Classed Growth Ch. Belgrave, and La Garde in Pessac-Léognan. They are also involved in ventures in Argentina (Clos de los Siete) and in Languedoc (Ch. de Serame).
They specialise in brilliant blends for generic wines and their highly
acclaimed, signature wine is called Essence. Essence is a new type of
wine for Bordeaux as it is a blend of wines from 3 different appellations,
Haut-Médoc, St Estèphe and
Pessac-Léognan. A tiny amount, only 6000 bottles are
available of this wine each vintage.
Dourthe has been selected among some of the best in the wine business to supply
the revamped version of Berrys' legendary Good Ordinary Claret.

I’ve enjoyed Berrys’ GOC for as long as I can remember; a wine that says it all on the label. It’s better than ever – now produced by Dourthe – and ideal for a summer standby. (Jonathan Ray - 50 Summer Wines - Daily Telegraph - 19-Jun-2009) Drink 2009-2011 . | ||||
