Domaine Bord - the family soul of Loupiac
Domaine Bord
A family estate in Loupiac (right bank of the Garonne), over six generations. Two properties, Clos Jean and Château Rondillon; sweet wines from Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle, and Bordeaux in all three colours.
In the heart of Loupiac, on the right bank of the Garonne, the Bord family cultivates far more than vines. For more than six generations, it has shaped a landscape, a philosophy and, above all, a style of wine that bears its signature.
Clos Jean and Château Rondillon, the estate's two properties, extend over the most sought-after hillsides of the appellation, facing due south and south-west, where the light sculpts the ripeness of the grapes and the freshness of the morning mists gives birth to the great sweet wines.

A terroir shaped by time
Loupiac is not a land like any other. Its gentle hills, worn by the millennia, rest on limestone subsoils and clay-gravel soils that retain the heat while giving the vines a constant breathing. This natural alchemy creates the perfect conditions for the development of botrytis cinerea, the famous noble rot, essential to the birth of the great sweet white wines of Bordeaux.
Here, every misty autumn morning heralds a new stage of the miracle. The harvest is done by successive passes, grape by grape, with the same care as in the past. The average age of the vines is over 37 years, offering an aromatic depth that only time can give.
The pride of a family, the consistency of a style
The Bord family carries on a winegrowing tradition patiently built over more than two centuries. A living tradition, never frozen, where high standards meet the desire to pass on. The emblematic grapes, Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle, express themselves with frankness and generosity, giving wines with silky textures, aromas of ripe fruits and vibrant finishes.
The cuvees of the estate
Each cuvee tells a different facet of the terroir and the family history, from the great gastronomic sweet wine to the convivial red, while remaining faithful to the identity of Loupiac.
