Denis Dubourdieu is famous as vigneron and oenologist. An acknowledged expert on white wines who consults for many vineyards in France and abroad, including Chateau Cheval Blanc, Dubordieu also runs the family's portfolio of vineyards - Chateau Doisy-Daene, Clos Floridiene, Chateau Reynon, Chateau Cantegril and Chateau Haura. A Professor of Oenology at Bordeaux since the mid 1980s, he researched yeasts, aromas and colloids. His most important influence is on raising the quality of the dry white wines of Bordeaux, introducing such innovations as organic farming, fermentation in oak barrels with extended skin contact and improved bottling techniques. Born into a wine family where he is the third generation of winemaker specializing in white wines, his sons have also started to help run the family vineyards.
