Château de La Commanderie - (France)

Château de La Commanderie logo

In 2019, Karine and Jean de Colbert acquired Château de la Commanderie, including the surrounding 29 hectares of vineyards. This acquisition marked a new era for the estate, with the new owners making significant investments in both the vineyards and the winery to improve quality and sustainability. The Colberts have focused on enhancing the vineyards and winery by integrating modern technologies and implementing sustainable farming practices. The new owners have invested in state-of-the-art vinification equipment and methods, including the use of concrete and stainless steel tanks for fermentation and French oak barrels for aging. The estate encompasses a total of 40 hectares. 4.5 hectares of the finest vineyards are bottled separately and sold under the name 'Cuvée Rubis'. Commanderie stands for quality, reliability, and trustworthiness and is likely one of the best introductions to Bordeaux in the Libourne region. Château de la Commanderie was built in the 12th century by the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, who provided shelter to pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. They protected them from bandits and other dangers.

Pleasantly full-bodied and enjoyable on the palate. The velvety character of Merlot makes it very approachable. A deliciously tasty and long finish. Both an introduction to Bordeaux and a safe bet for the seasoned Bordeaux enthusiast.
