Small bits of history ...

 

Chateau La Borie

...was built in the XVIIIth century by descendant of the family of the Princes of Orange Louis Charles of Baume-Suze and his wife Lady Olympe Émilie de Suffren of Saint-Tropez.

On July 27, 1850, the Marchioness Ernestine Madeleine Alix des Isnards
wife of the Count Hubert Denys Marie d'Anselme inherited Chateau La Borie from her father the Marquees Gabriel Martial des Isnards and of her mother the Marchioness Aldonce Marthe Marie Julie of the Baume-Suze.

At the beginning of 1900's Chateau La Borie belongs to
the family Bertrand, and in 1926 it is acquired by the family Gonnet.

The Chateau La Borie was, according to the winds of the history, sometimes a country house for hunters, in the middle of immense oak forests, sometimes the advanced bastion of Suze's castle with which it is connected by long subterranean galleries dug by the Knight Templars some centuries ago.
Today, on the rocky and airy hillsides of this
estate of 272 acres, vineyards replaced the oaks forest partially.
175 acres are vineyards partly in the Côtes du Rhône area and partly in the Côtes du Rhône Villages area.

Chateau La Borie is situated on hills with slight slopes, vines are issued of varietals like Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. The result is a magnificent red wine that is regularly rewarded during the agricultural shows.
