Côtes de Duras
The appellation vineyards Côtes de Duras  covers 1,500 hectares, with around 65% red and 35% white grapes grown by 72 independent winegrowers and 118 cooperative winegrowers. Located close to the Bordeaux vineyards, this influence is reflected in the grape varieties planted: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec for reds, Sauvignon Sémillon and Muscadelle for whites. Other white grape varieties, such as Ondenc, Mauzac and Ugni Blanc, reflect our South-Western roots. 

The subsoils of the Duras vineyards are composed of marine and fluvial sediments such as heavy, sticky clays called Boulbènes in the lower and southern parts of the vineyards; and marls and molasses & limestone and clay-limestone at higher altitudes. 

Although Duras wines are best known for their reds, which are in the majority, it's clear that excellent white wines are also made here, and for good reason: the region's subsoils of molasses and boulbènes are obviously ideal for growing white grape varieties.

(2011 vintage notes)

Blackcurrant aromas dominate the nose of Cuvée Vieillefont, which has a ruby-red color with purplish highlights. Round and silky on the palate. The tannins are fine and supple. A real treat!
