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 rosé, composed of mostly grenache with a touch of syrah, comes from a small 3 hectare plot of vines over clay, marl and stone. Fermentation in cement vats keeps the fruit purity (think strawberries) in the foreground, making for a bright, yet slightly musky wine with light colour, a delicate nose and a touch of spice on the finish.
