Chateau du Paradis

The jewel of the Bardet family located on the banks of the Dordogne. Property of the family since the last century, the 5 hectares sit on gravel, clay and sand carried by the river.

The rocky soil accumulate and reflect heat during the ripening of the grapes, promoting the concentration, complexity and aromatic finesse of the wine. Luscious, full-bodied, rich and sexy, this ready-to-go, delicious, plush wine is loaded with licorice-covered, black fruits. While clearly opulent in nature, the wine retains its freshness and vibrancy
