Le Clos du Monat

I am Christian Gourgourio, winemaker since 2014, owner of 10 hectares of biodynamic vines in the Côtes de Bourg and Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellations. In the vineyards, we could summarize my work in 3 points: plant cover in the rows, weaving of the vine, and Agroforestry. I experiment with my beliefs to always go further in the search for the expression of the terroir. In the cellar, I work exclusively with indigenous yeasts so as to best transcribe the terroir in presence. the wines are vinified in concrete vats or amphoras followed by aging in barrels depending on the cuvée, I use very little or no sulphur. Containers and methods all focused on grapes and their most crystalline expression.
