Description
Terroirs d’Exception” is a range of unique wines resulting from a collaborative programme with our growers. Over the years, Dourthe has selected a number of properties representing certain appellations, and considered to be the ultimate expression of terroir, offering the greatest quality potential. Dourthe’s winemakers are actively involved in the programme, notably at harvest-time and during the vintage, to manage and optimise wine quality. Only the finest wine parcels are selected for ageing

Viticulture
Only the finest wine parcels are selected for ageing. These parcels then undergo a complex blending process, and give rise to a Dourthe Fine Wine, the expression of its exceptional terroirs: “Terroirs d’exception”.
Vinification
Véronique RAZIMBAUD is the winemaker. The blend is specially selected and exclusive to Waitrose Maceration on the skins, lowtemperature fermentation and 4-6 months ageing on the fine lees, depending on the parcel.
