We sat down with **Brigitte Rullier-Loussert at Château Dalem in Fronsac**, a historic Bordeaux estate quietly producing wines of depth and character.

In this relaxed conversation, she shares the story of taking over the family property from her father — and how what began as obligation slowly became passion.

A rare glimpse into the woman guiding Dalem today, shared over a tasting across decades.

During this private conversation, Brigitte reveals stories, philosophies, and winemaking insights few people outside the estate ever hear.

****Inside this conversation you'll discover.**

▶️

The moment Brigitte suddenly found herself responsible for Château Dalem — and how what began as obligation slowly turned into passion for the estate.

▶️

Why a “forgotten” Bordeaux vintage like ****2002** can suddenly come back to life decades later — and what warmer years like ****2018** reveal compared with the classic balance of ****2019**.

▶️

The small but crucial detail in Dalem’s vineyards — ****15 separate plots** — that quietly shapes the complexity of the wine.

▶️

How guidance from ****Michel Rolland** and later ****Eric Boissenot** helped shape Dalem’s style — moving from power toward finesse.

▶️

 Brigitte’s philosophy for making wine:   
  
****“Dalem is Dalem — you like it or you don’t.”**
