Chateau Le Vieux Fort Medoc Cru Bourgeois

Description

Château Le Vieux Fort is ideally located at the tip of the Médoc in the district of Valeyrac, near the Gironde estuary and Atlantic Ocean. Since 1925, the Bergey family has guided the history of the estate, which today is headed up by the 4th generation.

With its vast diversity, the terroir is typical of the Médoc and comprises of three very different blocks of vines, allowing multiple blending possibilities. The initiatives put in place to maintain a tighter control over yields, including increased planting densities and green harvest, promote the production of high quality grapes, which once rigorously sorted will be vinified in the winery. A Cru Bourgeois full of character indeed !
