The family history of Ch\u00e2teau Les Millards<\/h2>\n

Owned by the Courpon family for seven generations, it is perhaps heir and current owner Bastien Courpon who best describes the history of Ch\u00e2teau les Millards. Bastien Courpon began working in the vineyards in 2010, alongside his parents V\u00e9ronique and Michel. The latter had themselves inherited the winery from his grandfather in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Although the estate used to produce mainly white varietals, red varietals now occupy the majority of the 7.5 hectares under cultivation. The change in business at Ch\u00e2teau Les Millards was largely due to the consumer craze for C\u00f4tes de Blaye appellation wines in the 1980s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to winegrowing, wine tourism also plays an important role at this estate. Bastien offers wine tastings at regional markets, vintage car tours of the estate and wine-tasting cruises in his company.<\/p>\n

The estate’s grape varieties are mainly Merlot and Carbernet-Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc also used to make red wines. Sauvignon Blanc is also grown here, but remains in the minority.<\/p>\n

Located in the Bordeaux region, the vines of the Ch\u00e2teau les Millards estate benefit from an ideally sunny climate. Grown on hillsides, they are cultivated on clay-limestone soil, with gravel in places, which is particularly well-suited to Merlot ripening.<\/p>\n

Bastien Courpon works with respect for nature, taking the philosophy of sustainable viticulture to heart. That’s why he favors manual work in his vineyards and wines aged for long periods in oak barrels.<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Les Millards wines<\/h2>\n

The Bordeaux region is a benchmark in the world of viticulture, enjoying worldwide renown especially for the production of red wines. Ch\u00e2teau Les Millards is evolving, albeit on a small scale, with wines benefiting from the recognized AOC Blaye de C\u00f4tes de Bordeaux appellation.<\/p>\n

The family business produces 7 wines, mainly C\u00f4tes de Blaye reds, but also C\u00f4tes de Bourg reds and ros\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

The different Ch\u00e2teau Les Millards wines are made from a skilful blend of Merlot, Carbenet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, grape varieties that give them a fruity character and roundness on the palate. Bastien Courpon also offers prestige cuv\u00e9es, produced from great vintages, which he allows to mature for longer.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the ancestral techniques employed, Ch\u00e2teau Les Millards wines have a powerful, fruity taste, with a slight woody note. This makes them a perfect match for dishes in sauce, with beef, veal or game. Intended for drinking rather than long-term storage, these wines should be served at a temperature of 16\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
