Château Groleau, Côtes-de-Bourg Bought in 1852 by one of the family ancestor, Jacques Rochet, a ship constructor, The Château overlooks the 18 hectares of its ideally exposed vineyard. Its closeness to the Gironde river guarantees the quality of the clay gravel soil to express itself completely. The wines, based on Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon varietals, know how to intrigue the connoisseurs: lively, aromatic, with a complex structure and a very specific character brough by the Malbec grape and an oak-aging. To reveal the varietal’s full potential, we even created a new cuvée, the Cōt a Cōtes, a 100% Malbec. Château Le Chay, Blaye - Côtes de Bordeaux Jean Raboutet, wine trader, purchased the 20ha vineyard in 1897. Its soil, composed of clayey limestone, gives a fruity wine, rounded and well-structured on the palate. Aged in oak barrels, the wine can be kept for decades, allowing the tannins to soften over the years.
