Inspired by the world-renowned wines of the famed ‘Right Bank’ of Bordeaux’s Garonne River, the vision of De Toren Z originated, followed by the maiden vintage release in 2004.

This complementary Right-Bank Bordeaux styled wine is today better known as the eminent, De Toren Z. Vivino Rating: 4.3 (Apr 20

This wine is a piece of history and when sold out - it will be wine money cannot buy ! The owner of Château Les Vimières, Jacques Boissenot, was central to the development of new winemaking techniques in Bordeaux before he sadly passed away in 2014. Jacques had his hand on pretty much every First Growth production since the 1960s and was voted Decanter magazine's Winemaker of the Decade in 2010. This Margaux from the outstanding 2009 vintage amply demonstrates how he led the way for quality wine

The vines are cropped to produce enough fruit for just one bottle per vine, and this fruit is handpicked and completely de-stemmed before being fermented with wild yeast.

The Jaume family have been making wine here since 1826 and still own the same vineyards; some of the vines are now over 100 years old. The Côtes du Rhône “Reserve” vineyards come from different types of soil but mainly from clay-limestone alluvial terraces, sands and clay.

Located to the west of the hamlet of Morgon, in the southernmost part of the appellation, the vineyards cover gentle, south-east facing slopes at altitudes of between 350 and 400 metres. The highly eroded soil is very stony, giving this Morgon “Les Charmes” all of the fleshy fruitiness of the great Beaujolais wines, and rich, elegant expression typical of Burgundy wines.
