Chateau Hortevie, a Cru Bourgeois estate was purchased by Bruno Borie from the Pradere family just in time to produce the 2006 vintage.
Bruno Borie, the owner of Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou, also located in Saint Julien has increased quality at this small, obscure Cru Bourgeois estate since taking over. Following the purchase of the vineyard by Bruno Borie, the term Chateau was dropped from the title. All vintages produced by the team of Bruno Borie are now labeled simply, Hortevie Saint Julien. The renaming of the wine started with the 2005 vintage.
Hortevie is one of the smallest vineyards in the Saint Julien appellation at 3.4 hectares, planted to 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. The vineyard is planted to a vine density of 10,000 vines per hectare. The vines are on average 40 years of age. The wine of Hortevie is vinified in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in vat. The wine is aged in 25% new, French oak barrels for an average of 12 to 14 months.
Close to 1,500 cases of Hortevie are produced each vintage. The wine is only available from one negociant as it's an exclusive that was produced for Nathaniel Johnston.
