The origins of the vineyard can be traced back to the 14th century.
We have commercial correspondence dating from 1663 at which period the Périgord was ravaged by the Wars of Religion (The Nantes Edict of 1685). Many Protestants from the Bergerac area emigrated to Holland and established trading links there with the wines they were accustomed to drinking, in particular, MONBAZILLAC. Château La Borderie made up one of the seventeen recognised and highly reputed DUTCH WINES of the era.
