Article filed in: News » We taste wines back to 1970 from one of the most famous Provence estates

A vineyard in Provence that also traces its roots to Bordeaux recently organised a tasting with wines back to 1970: Chateau Vignelaure in Coteaux d’Aix en Provence.

Here the first cabernet sauvignon was planted in the mid-1960s. And this grape is the hallmark of the estate. We have met the owners, the Danish/Swedish couple Mette and Bengt Sundstrom at an event that they stage in Paris. We talked about the wines, the history and the most recent developments.
