Information
Château Vieux Guinot, a Saint Emilion Grand Cru, has been in the family since 1729. Over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, the property expanded, absorbing two other châteaux: Roc Saint Michel and Gaillard de la Gorce, also Grands Crus. Finally, in 1957, Jean-Pierre Rollet bought Château Fourney, another Saint Emilion Grand Cru. Vignobles Rollet thus owns 44 hectares made up of a mosaic of terroirs ranging from clay-limestone to silica-gravel. The vines currently consist of 70% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 16% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Rollet family also owns 20 hectares in the Côtes de Castillon appellation, divided between the two properties of Château Fourquerie and Château Grand Tertre.
Aged for 18 months (of which 12 months in barrels, with 25% renewed each year), the wine offers notes of red fruit (black cherries), with hints of smoke and toast. This is a well-structured, elegantly woody wine. There is a long tradition of wine-making in the Rollet family.
