The Story

Jean-Pierre Rollet inherited a long wine-making tradition as Château Vieux Guinot, Saint Emilion Grand Cru, has been in his family since 1729. During the 19th and 20th centuries, two more chateaux were added : Château Roc Saint MIchel and Chateau Gaillard de la Gorce, which are both Grands Crus. The property now covers 44 hectares of Saint Emilion.

Le Vin

50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon

Brilliant purple colour. Nose of mature red berries (blackcurrant) on grilled notes. Robust and powerful mouth. Structured finish with notes of cherry and clove.

Le conseil de Grandissime

“Open one hour before serving at 17°C. This wine will cellar well for 3 to 5 years. It will be the perfect accompaniment to all red meats and raosted game like guinea fowl.”
