The Bourillon Dorléans estate, founded in 1921 by Gaston Dorléans, covers today more than 26 hectares of vines, located on the best hillsides of Rochecorbon, right in the heart of the Loire Valley, in France. Here we work on a unique and emblematic grape variety, the Chenin Blanc (also called Pineau of the Loire).
Frédéric and his son Benjamin, third and fourth generation of wine producers, take great care to perpetuate the traditional spirit and the quality of their strong personality Vouvray wines. The estate spreads over several types of soils (terroirs), calcareous limestone and siliceous clay from the best of the Vouvray designation. The soils and special climate in the region give the Vouvray wines their unique flavour, featuring apple, pear and honey aromas with a balanced acidity and elegant long finish.
The Bourillon Dorléans estate produces high quality Vouvray wines, from dry to sweet, by way of sparkling ones. The wines are vinified with care and attention to achieve an exceptional quality. Lovers of fine wines can come and visit the estate, discover our wine making techniques and taste the Vouvray wines in the heart of our sumptuous carved stone cave.
With an average vine age of 35 years, the wines are headily aromatic, with deep, complex flavors, and are lusciously textured, with the sec style in particular showing a flintiness and minerality that is unique to the terroir of the Loire Valley. Annual production is about 150,000 bottles.
