Chateau Rollin Description
Chateau Rollin's wines are essentially fruity and structured with a red fruit marked Merlot and a beautiful tannic richness brought by Cabernet Sauvignon. Château Rollin reveals both great finesse and a lot of power. A balance between terroir, passion and know-how.
Since the acquisition of the castle by the MARTIN family, wines have experienced a real rise in quality and notoriety, both in France and internationally. The vineyard is located on the two highest gravel rumps of the municipality (+ 36 meters above the sea), on poor and filtering soils, a privilege of the grands crus of the Médocains terroirs.
It is planted exclusively at one meter with a planting density of about 7,000 feet/ha, according to the old Médoc tradition, with a traditional cultivation method without weed killers. A selection of the grapes is carried out by a reasoned thinning of the clusters, followed by a consequent leaf stripping for optimal maturity.
