The Dourthe family has been passionate about the vineyards of Bordeaux for more than 175 years. In 1840, Pierre Dourthe, who was a hotelier in Lit-et-Mixe (a village located in the South of Bordeaux), opened a wine merchant business. Vignobles Dourthe soon became recognized as a reliable, innovative wine producer in Bordeaux, who until today provides the benchmark in winemaking. This pioneering spirit can be witnessed at every stage of their history and the Dourthe name is associated throughout the world with the great wines of Bordeaux. They are passionate about viticulture in tune with the soil and microclimate, winemaking that harnesses the typical character of each terroir and each of the region’s iconic grape varieties, and ever committed to a creative, honest and daring blending philosophy.
