Cotes de Bordeaux 2020 Chateau Deville

Chateau Deville Côtes de Bordeaux 2020

Philosophy in the vineyard

The Chateau Deville Côtes de Bordeaux 2020 comes from the heart of Rions, Bordeaux, where Jean Paul Deville continues to express his respectful and conscious viticulture approach. In the 36 hectares of vineyards, biodiversity and soil vitality are central to every agricultural practice. The dominant Merlot meets Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in perfect balance, resulting from controlled yields and manual harvests. The goal is to bring healthy, ripe, and authentic grapes to the cellar, able to tell the true soul of Côtes de Bordeaux, combining elegance and structure.

Approach in the cellar

In the cellar, Jean Paul Deville aims to enhance the varietal and territorial character of this red wine. After a 3–4 week maceration on the skins, the wine is drained and then aged partly in stainless steel and partly in oak barrels, preserving the fruit’s freshness while adding complexity. This choice balances modernity and tradition, producing a red wine with a soft yet lively soul, gentle tannins, and smooth drinkability. The result is a contemporary “claret,” perfect for everyday dining.

Chateau Deville: the Deville Family’s legacy in Bordeaux

The story of Chateau Deville

In the heart of Rions, a picturesque village in Bordeaux, lies Chateau Deville, an ambitious project born from the vision of the historic Deville Family, renowned for its deep-rooted tradition in Champagne. Verzy, the chosen homeland of Pinot Noir, has seen generations of passionate winemakers like Jean Paul Deville, guardian of the family legacy and the creative mind behind this new venture. While waiting for his daughter Marie Alice to one day take over the reins of the Maison, Jean Paul decided to expand the boundaries of his winemaking art by bringing it to an iconic land like Bordeaux. Here, among gentle hills and precious soils, he created an estate that tells another side of his oenological vision, with 36 hectares of vineyards breathing the history and beauty of this unique region.

Philosophy in the vineyard: respect for nature and terroir

The philosophy of Chateau Deville is based on deep respect for nature and the biodiversity that enriches the vineyards of Rions. Every row is tended with meticulous care, driven by the belief that only a healthy environment can produce grapes of the highest quality. Vineyard management focuses on sustainable practices, keeping chemical treatments to a minimum and favouring the natural balance of the soil. The climate, softened by Atlantic currents, and the unique soil composition allow the cultivation of international grape varieties that here find the ideal habitat to express finesse and complexity. Thanks to thoughtful choices and a forward-looking vision, Chateau Deville perfectly combines innovation and tradition, offering wines that interpret Bordeaux’s most authentic essence.

Approach in the cellar: elegance and purity

Entering the cellar of Chateau Deville means experiencing an atmosphere where tradition meets modernity. Jean Paul has created a winemaking space where cutting-edge technology serves a clear purpose: to enhance the purity of the fruit. The grapes, hand-picked to preserve their integrity, are vinified with gentle, precise interventions to highlight the character of each plot. Spontaneous fermentations, balanced use of wood and carefully timed ageing result in wines with an elegant structure and impeccable balance. Every bottle tells a story of passion and a profound bond with the land, confirming Chateau Deville as a new reference point for those seeking wines of character, authenticity and charm in Bordeaux.
