Varieties 80% Sauvignon - 20% Sémillon

Vineyard The 83-ha vineyard of Vignobles Dubard is located on sunny hills

that overlook the right bank of the river Dordogne. 37 ha of this

vineyard are dedicated to white varieties, which average age is 25

years old. These vines are closely planted (5,000 vines/ha) on

calcareous-clayed soils with grass between rows.

A thorough control of the sanitary state of grapes and the application

of the integrated farming principles lead to the optimization of

maturity and a quality of harvest. Varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc,

rich in varietal aromas, are truly made in the vineyard. Clean and

ripe fruit always produce here great Sauvignon Blanc.

Vinification

and ageing

At their arrival in the cellar, the grapes are de-stemmed and

introduced to stainless tanks, to undergo a 12-hour cold maceration

for skin contact. Varietal aromas are mostly extracted at this stage.

The grapes are then gently pressed, and the juice settles for two days

before being racked. The juice is cooly and slowly fermented for

about 3 weeks, using yeasts which complement and enhance the fruit

characters.

After maturation, the wine was lightly fined and several tanks were

blended. The white Château laulerie 2010 was bottled young to

retain the fresh vibrant flavours.

Tasting notes On the nose, this white wine combines gooseberry, exotic fruit and

peach. The palate is rich and generous, with a fresh, tasty finish and

a fruty after-taste.

Serving

suggestions

Château Laulerie, clean and fruity, can be enjoyed on its own, or will

form an ideal accompaniment to seafood dishes, summer salads,

apetizers and buffet meals. This white wine is an early drinking

style, best in the first 2 years. Serve slightly chilled (10 to 12°C).

Varieties 70% Cabernet Sauvignon - 30% Merlot

Vineyard Among the 46-ha red-variety vines, 30 to 50% are dedicated to

the production of Château Laulerie Rosé. The youngest vines (5

to 15 years) are always selected for the Rosé. Trellised in Guyot

cut canopy, the vines are closely planted (5,000 vines/ha). The

respect of traditional rules to run the vineyard, and the use of

natural fertilizer restrict yield to 60 hL/ha. The alternating

grassy and ploughed rows lead to an ideal hydric balance.

Vinification

and ageing

Press juice made up 50% of this Rosé: the de-stemmed grapes

undewent a night long cold maceration, in order to extract

colour and varietal aromas. Cabernet varieties especially

communicate characteristic structure and fruitiness. After

pressing, the press juice was blended with bleedings (saignées)

from different fermenting red tanks. After a cold settling, the

fementation was done at low temperatures (15 to 17°C)

according to a thoroughly controlled rythm until sugar is

completely consumed. We actually aim to favour, at each step

of the process, fruitiness and freshness. Maturation on yeast

lees balanced the vividness of this Rosé, giving a round and

silky texture.

Tasting

notes

The Château Laulerie is a lively pink rosé with strawberry and

raspberry aromas. The palate is supple with sustained flavours

and a fresh, clean finish, which make this wine the perfect

summer drink.

Serving

suggestions

This clean and fruity rosé should be served chilled (10 to

12°C). It will complement buffet meals (cooked pork meats,

summer salads...), barbecues, exotic and spicy dishes. To be

enjoyed while young.

Varieties Merlot

Vineyard

The Dubard family settled down as winemakers in the Bergerac

region, in the late 70’s. A situation of these vines on calcareous-

clayish hillsides exposed to sunlight (South South-West), and a

trellising thoroughly adapted to the spacing between rows

maximize maturation. Integrated farming leads to the protection of

environment and of the “terroir” personnality. It also guarantees

an excellent sanitary state of the crop, and thus its final quality.

Vinification

and ageing

After de-stemming and crushing, the grapes are directly

transferred to stainless tanks at their arrival in the cellar. The

temperature is first maintained rather low (15°C) for a few days, to

maximise flavour extraction. The juice then undergoes a short (2

weeks) and rather cool (26°C) fermentation, during which daily

pumping-over are realized. Such a short maceration run with quite

low temperatures preserve the fruity aromas, and the supple

tannins. As soon as the fermentation is finished, the wine is

drained to stainless tanks, where the malolactic fermentation and

the ageing are carried out, prior to the components being racked

out and blended.

Tasting

notes

Lively red fruit with a hint of pepper describe the nose of this red

wine. A supple and velvety palate, accompanied by berry fruit

aromas make this medium-weight wine easy-to-drink and ideal for

summer drinking.

Serving

suggestions

This Merlot can be matched well with roast poultry, barbecues,

summer lunches, and many cheeses. This is an early-drinking

wine, which will be best enjoyed before 2016. Best served at

16°C.

We have composed this “Malbec” cuvée in order to pay tribute

to a variety often used in blends in the South West of France but

seldom put forward. We like to show the unforgettable

personality of Malbec on our soils, that gets off the beaten

Vineyard

Amongst our 46-ha vineyard of red grapes, old vines were selected

because of their low yield (55 hL/ha), to make Château Laulerie. These

vines, closely planted (5,000 per ha) using qualitative rootstocks adapted

to the calcareous-clayish soil (3309, 101-14, 41B, RGM) are trellised in a

Guyot system. Leaf plucking on the shaded side of the vines (East or

North) favours excellent sanitary state and phenolic maturity of skins.

Vinification

and

winegrowing

process

After de-stemming and crushing, the grapes were loaded to tanks to

undergo a 4-week maceration. During fermentation were realized daily

pumping-over, and also a “délestage” (rack-and-return) at the early stages

of fermentation. The aim of these operations was to gradually and softly

extract the grapes phenolic potential. This primary fermentation was

followed by malolactic fermentation in tanks. The wine was then racked

to new French oak barrels to be matured for 6 months, after what it was

transferred to 50 hl oak tanks where it was aged for another 6 months. A

natural refining with egg white was carried out after those 12-months.

Maturation gave Château Laulerie time to open up, and to find its

harmony with spicy aromas and tannins communicated by oak.

Tasting

notes

The nose is very expressive, with dark red fruit and mixed spice aromas.

The palate offers silky and round tannins, enlivened by an harmonious

combination of oaky and fruity aromas which leads to a great refinement

and balance.

Wine and

food

matches

Château Laulerie is particularly suitable with gamey meats, savoury

dishes, duck, red meat and cheese or can just be enjoyed on its own. This

wine will best be served at room temperature and to be given a little time

to breathe. Château Laulerie can be enjoyed now, but it will develop with

age and may be cellared over the next 10 years.

AOC Bergerac red aged in oak

Guide Hachette 2018: 2 stars for Château Laulerie 2015 “The partial oak ageing provides to this wine a real complexity,

adding to black fruits aromas (blackberries, gooseberries) a subtle oakiness with hints of hazelnt & cocoa. The ample & silky

palate reveals notes of blackberry marmelade & cocoa again, that linger and combine with warm hints of soft spices.”

Guide Hachette 2013: Château Laulerie 2010 is « Coup de cœur » (the very highest accolade awarded by Hachette)

Guide Hachette 2014: 1 Star “With a deep garnet robe, it offers notes of ripe red fruit & berries, then hints of spices, vanilla,

mild tobacco and the toasted nuances that testify to barrel maturation. With well-rounded tannins from the outset, this wine

presents a certain firmness on the finish that suggests it would benefit from a 2-year cellaring.”

VVaarriieettiieess 100% Sémillon « vieilles vignes »

Vineyard

This medium sweet wine is exclusively produced in the most

favourable years. The most ancient Semillon vines, facing South or

East, are selected to grow a late, concentrated and over-ripe harvest.

The age of the vines, added to a thorough care brought to the green

tasks, lead to a particularly low yield (30 hL/ha). The grapes,

exposed to the sun until mid-october thanks to leaf-plucking

performed over the summer, were dried by over maturation.

Vinification

and ageing

As its arrival in the cellar, the grapes were introduced by gravity to

the press where they went through a gentle pressing. The different

fractions of pressing were divided up and vinified separately. After a

cold settling, these batches were coldy fermented (16°C) according

to a thoroughly controlled rythm. Winemaking techniques practised

here ensured freshness and revealed fruity aromas.

Tasting

notes

This late harvest Semillon displays powerful aromas of ripe and

candied fruits, honey and dry apricots. The concentration is

noticeable through out the palate, though refreshed by a hint of

acidity.

Serving

suggestions

The medium sweet Château Laulerie will complement flawlessly

aperitives, melon, duck liver, and cheese such as Roquefort. Very

promising, this wine is enjoyable now, but its concentration will

ensure a great development with cellaring (5 to 10 years). Serve

slightly chilled, at 8°C.

Varieties 100% Sauvignon

Vineyard

The Montravel Wine Appellation is situated West of the Bergerac wine region.

The grapes for this “cuvée” were selected from 40-year-old vines located on

sunny hillsides. Precautions such as closely planted vines (5,000 vines/ha) with

grass between rows, a set of tasks thoroughly run like bud thinning, leaf

plucking and bunch thinning and a restriction of yield to 45 Hl/ha, lead to the

optimisation of maturity and a quality of harvest. The application of the

integrated farming principles emphasizes an utmost care for sanitary state of

crop and our concern for environment. The grapes are strictly sorted in order to

select only those which meet our requirements of maturity, homogeneity and

sanitary state.

Vinification

and ageing

At their arrival, the grapes are de-stemmed and introduced to stainless tanks. A

12 hours long cold maceration for skin contact, maximises flavour extraction

and provides strength and fullness on the palate. The grapes are then gently

pressed, and the juice settles for two days before being racked directly to French

oak 50 hl-vats. The white « Comtesse de Ségur » is fermented in those oak vats

slowly at cool temperatures (16 to 18°C) to retain varietal characters, unique to

Sauvignon Blanc. The wine was subsequently left in barrels on yeast lees for a

few months. A gentle lees stirring during the first two months has helped to

provide palate weight and refinement.

Serving

suggestions

Because of its great richness and toasty side, this “cuvée” is recommended with

delicate white meats, seafood dishes, goat’s cheese, or can simply be enjoyed on

its own. The white « Comtesse de Ségur » will best be consumed while young,

when the thirst-quenching freshness is dominant, but will develop further

complexity if cellared for additional years. Best served slightly chilled (13°C).

Guide Hachette 2018: « 3 Stars » (Vintage 2015) […]“3 Words to sum up the nose? Power, richness, complexity. The aromas of exotic fruit &

varietal notes of Sauvignon Blanc combine with fragrances of hazelnut, vanilla & well-integrated oak. The palate reveals at once volume and subtlety. Again, the oak is well integrated, and underlines a persistant fruitiness. The finish, both lively and generous, reveals a solid ageing

potential

Wands Magazine - Japan : « This blend of Sauvignon blanc and Sémillon goes through a 6-month ageing in French Oak barrels. Complex and smooth, this wine which nose presents fresh aromas of citrus fruits, blends a nice acidity with depth ».

Guide Hachette 2012: « Coup de cœur » (Vintage 2009) […]“To the eye it is a shiny, golden yellow colour, offering a subtle nose of white flowers and Box wood with hints of mineral and slight oak overtones. On the palate it is perfectly rounded and refined appearing smooth, with a lot of

freshness, and floral aromas enriched by hints of citrus. This wine is particularly well balanced and complemented by the mastery of the oak

ageing”. Internet Database - USA (Vintage 2009): Score 90 “The medium-bodied dry white wine with a delicate scent, while fleshy, mouth-filling fruit

defines what the palate will experience. The entire experience from start to finish, which is considerable, is clean and crisp.”

Vineyard

The Montravel Wine Appellation is situated West of the Bergerac wine region.

The special reserve « Comtesse de Ségur » honours the recent AOC Montravel

Rouge, created in 2001. The ancient red vines (40 years old), which face South,

are selected for the vinification of this reserve. The choice of these ancient vines

is sourced from the quality and the concentration of the grapes produced. These

vines are closely planted (5,000 vines /ha) and their yield is naturally restricted

to 45 hL/ha. The thorough care we take of the tasks during the green period

(bud-thinning in spring, leak plucking at veraison, and bunch-thinning in august

when necessary), added to the severe sorting practised in the vineyard right

before harvest, allows us to obtain grapes which meet our requirements of

maturity, homogeneity and sanitary state.

Vinification

and ageing

process

The de-stemmed and crushed grapes underwent a 4-week maceration. During

fermentation, daily cycles of two pumping-overs, and one “délestage” (rack-and-

return) at the early stages ensured a soft and progressive extraction of the

phenolic structure. The special reserve « Comtesse de Ségur », after malolactic

fermentation carried out in tanks, was transferred to new French oak barrels

coming from respected coopers, where it was aged for 12 months. Regular

stirring ensured that the yeast-lees sediment was into suspension during this year

of maturation. A natural refining with egg white is completed after maturation.

Wine &

matches

On the nose, lively blackberries are complimented by spicy French oak. The

palate reveals a complex wine with strong fruit, powerful but silky and round

tannins, with a long and ripe finish. The malbec gives a menthol taste in the

middle palate.

History The name of this reserve is sourced from the Château de Ségur (Dordogne,

France), which has belonged to the Comtesse de Ségur, famous author of « Les

Petites Filles Modèles ». The Comtesse often stayed in this charming castle, to

write some of the many children novels she wrote. The vineyard surrounding the

castle has been actually exploited by the Dubard family for more than 15 years.

Guide Hachette 2015 : 1 “The powerful nose mixes ripen fruit and pepper. A generosity

that is not denied by the palate, intense, round, fleshy, backed by solid tannins that will need a bit of time to soften.”
