It is one of five Bordeaux estates owned by the Dubourdieu family. Clos Floridène was founded in 1982 when Denis (1949-2016) and Florence Dubourdieu bought a number of plots to form an estate and christened it with a combination of their own names. The other four estates in the portfolio are the Grand Cru Classé second growth Château Doisy-Daëne and the châteaux Reynon, Haura and Cantegril. Clos Floridène has a total of 40 hectares (100 acres) of vineyards. These are planted with Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. A second red and white wine is produced under the \"Drapeaux de Floridène\" label. This is made from vineyards originally planted in the 1970s by wine merchant Pierre Costes and Denis' father Pierre Dubourdieu. In 1991 Costes sold his shares to Dubourdieu who incorporated them into the wider Floridène vineyard. Clos Floridène is well known for its dry white wines - a specialty of Denis Dubourdieu, who was also the director of the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences at the University of Bordeaux. He is seen as a pivotal figure in the increase in the quality of dry Bordeaux blanc.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-10T15:04:21-05:00","created_at":"2023-03-06T10:50:11-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK0603","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Clos Floridène","Region_Graves","Source_Wevino0323","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":14195,"price_min":14195,"price_max":14195,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42824874492042,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2017 | Clos Floridène | Graves","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":14195,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/17_55247a0a-3fcf-437d-9422-be1888a98a34.jpg?v=1678117855"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/17_55247a0a-3fcf-437d-9422-be1888a98a34.jpg?v=1678117855","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2017 | Clos Floridène | Graves at CaskCartel.com","id":24339901972618,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.43,"height":748,"width":322,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/17_55247a0a-3fcf-437d-9422-be1888a98a34.jpg?v=1678117855"},"aspect_ratio":0.43,"height":748,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/17_55247a0a-3fcf-437d-9422-be1888a98a34.jpg?v=1678117855","width":322}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2017 | Clos Floridène | Graves\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ripe, spicy wine from the Dubourdieu domaines is balanced and full of attractive berry fruits.
