At the beginning ...
1610: This is the date that the BARDE family tree began to burgeon
in the commune of Saint Méard de Gurçon .
Since that time succeeding generations have gone to form the present
inheritance .
This ancient abode situated to the west of Bergerac (30 km) ,
though not a country seat
, it is however a landowners home dating from the 17 th century .
On the mansard roof sit
two splendid weathervanes marked with fleur-de-lis and representing
dolphins
Here then in the "Perigord Pourpre ". The BARDE family , brothers
and cousins practise
the art of wine-making over their 70 hectares of vineyards , divided
up as follows:
-37 ha white wine varieties: Sauvignon , Semillon and Muscadelle
-33 ha red wine varieties: Merlot , Cabernet Sauvignon , Cabernet
Franc and Malbec
grown on wires that are staked in lines .
