Our Wines
Château La Corne
A.O.C. Bordeaux Blanc
Our Most Popular White Blend
This typical blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle is clean, clear, and bright.  Herbal notes give way to confit of lemon and then open with every swirl and sip to white pepper, ginger, and perfectly ripe fruit.  This can be a more contemplative and sensual wine some years and overly friendly other years, but it’s always good.  All it needs is company.  (And maybe some take-out Pad Thai.)
Around 700 bottles made per year.
Chateau La Corne
‍Sauvignon Blanc
Côte Sud Vineyard
A Pop of Citrus and Mineral Flavor
2021 was the first time we made one barrel of 100% Sauvignon Blanc.  It is rich yet elegant, aromatic and truly fabulous Lemon meringue pie, pomelo, sweet grapefruit, a hint of tarragon on the nose and pallet, ending with notes of pastry and lemon zest.  Clean, lively energetic, take another sip and it opens up to include white pepper and ginger spice.  Enjoy with grilled fish, smoked salmon or enjoy as an aperitif while cooking a scrumptious dinner.
One barrel, about 300 bottles
made each year.
Château La Corne
Semillon
"The Orchard" Vineyard
Rich and Balanced With Floral Notes
Steve's favorite white, this dry Semillon is rich and balanced and hits our "Goldilocks" spot (not too tart, not too sweet).  The color is lighter and the fruit sweeter because some years, it doesn’t want to finish fermentation - its youth captured!  And we really don't want it to grow up - so you must drink it now.  Lychee, white flowers, lemon meringue pie all combine to make
our pallets sing.
One barrel, about 300 bottles
made each year.


Château La Corne
La Corne Sunset Rosé
Summer in a Bottle
The La Corne Sunset Rose’ is beautifully bright, fresh and irresistible!  It's our Summer in a bottle. The color is a pale pink salmon with aromas of red rose and white peach followed by spicy white floral blossoms.  Flavors of cranberry and pomegranate reveal a more elevated version that makes it as easy to enjoy with a BBQ as much as pâté and cheese.  We sell out every year, so get it while you can!
Around 500 bottles made per year.
Château La Corne
Cabernet Sauvignon
Cote Sud Vineyard
Opulent And Intense Showstopper
This is our "show off" wine.  It has incredible beautiful, ripe and fresh fruit with notes of coffee and chocolate.  Perfume of violets and blackberries combine for an opulent and rich mouthfeel, yet its vibrant energy and integrated silky and supple tannins leave one wanting more.
Typically two barrels made,
around 600 bottles.
Chateau La Corne
A.O.C. Bordeaux Rouge
"7 Cepages"
A Symphony of Aromas and Flavors
The seven different grape varieties in this cuvee each contribute unique notes that blend into a complex symphony of flavors in your mouth to make a perfectly balanced and complex wine.  Loaded with dark cherry, cassis and violet aromas and flavors that gradually opens to reveal this wine's full story.  30% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 20% Malbec, 10% Carmenere, 10% Castets, 5% Boucheles, 5% Petit Verdot.  Both Castets and Boucheles are thought to be extinct and could be over 100 year old vines!  The orchestra continues to play and just sounds (and tastes) better and better each vintage.
Around 500-700 bottles made each year.
Château La Corne
"Hidden Block"
Merlot
Limited Production Fan Favorite
To say this wine is a surprise isn't an understatement; grown in a shaded, cool, north sloping parcel of only 5 rows, Steve originally made it to be like a Pinot Noir.  Light and complex, with dark cherry mocha and rose petal aromas and flavors.  We have some pretty fanatical fans of this wine (you know who you are).
One barrel or around 300 bottles made,
only in the warmest years.

La Coupe de la Corne
Méthode Traditionnelle
Blanc de Noir, Sparkling Wine

Aged in the caves beneath St. Emillion for 9 months, méthode traditionelle is sparkling wine crafted in the traditional method of Champagne, a time-honored process perfected over centuries.  Picked early from our new vineyard block to retain crisp, vibrant fruit flavors and zero dosage, our sparkling wine is simply a delight.  Fresh strawberry nose with tiny bubbles to tickle it, and pretty pale pink in color, it mimics our Sunset Rose’ with flavors of red fruits and savory white spice.
 2500 bottles made so time to celebrate!

Natural Farming & Winemaking
As we live surrounded by our vines and spend much time in the vineyards, we farm minimally.  By that we mean no Round Up, no pesticides, no herbicides.  Using only natural products used for centuries.  The vineyard is totally safe for us, our guests and our little dog named Margaux and all the other creatures great and small with whom we share this land.

All the work in the vineyard is done by hand (by us) and our 1968 Masey Ferguson tractor.  We hand pick our grapes at harvest with help from friends and neighbors.

Wine making is minimal too with fermentation by only native yeasts.  The long natural fermentation stays cool, which helps retain all the fine aromas.  For example, our 2017 white took 22 days to ferment versus the 5 days it would have taken with processed yeast. We then put the wine in neutral French oak barrels for maturation.  We rack barrels and occasionally use egg whites to ‘fine’ the wine prior to bottling (unfiltered).  We use a very small amount of sulfur at bottling to make sure the wine can travel.
