Viticulture

The Côtes-de-Bourg is located on the right bank of the Dordogne and Gironde rivers, a few kilometers from the city of Bordeaux. The variety of soils is rich, and depending on the châteaux, clay, limestone, sand, and quaternary silt are found. Côtes-de-Bourg is its meso-climate, which gives it slightly more sunshine, less extreme temperatures, and less rainfall than the rest of Bordeaux.
