Veritas Gateway to Food & Wine

1840: the history of Dourthe begins... Pierre Dourthe, a hottelier in the Southwest of France, launches a Bordeaux wine business. Never would he have imagined that his direct descendants would go on to associate the name Dourthe with the grands vin of Bordeaux. Join us on Thursday March 6 at 6pm as we welcome Frederic Bonnaffous, Head Winemaker and Estates Director of Dourthe Family Wines. With several years’ experience working at various Bordeaux estates, in 2002 Frédéric was appointed Director of Dourthe’s Chateau Belgrave (Grand Cru Classé Haut Medoc), and subsequently given the additional responsibility of Chateau Le Boscq (Cru Bourgeois Saint Estèphe), and Chateau Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac (Saint-Emilion Grand Cru). Continuing to develop Dourthe in its capacity as a Bordeaux producer, the magnificent renovations at Dourthe’s Chateau La Garde and the acquisition of new estates, led naturally in 2011 to his promotion as Director of the entire Dourthe portfolio of estates. We will pair all five of the listed Bordeaux properties' wines with five of Chef Mathis' fantastic compositions. $175 per person exclusive of tax and gratuity, $160 VIN and Grape members.
