Elaboration

Grand Vin de Bordeaux from the Haut Médoc area. Château du Retout 2017 it is a blend made of 52 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 16% Petit Verdot. Normally, the winery produces 130,000 bottles of each vintage, but due to some difficulties, in 2017 there were only produced 90,000 bottles. The winemaking consists of cold pre-fermentation maceration at 4°C for 6 to 10 days under blanket gas. Slow fermentation at temperatures below 26°C with 2 to 3 rack and return operations by gravity per day. Maceration under skins for 15 to 28 days at 28°C. The average period in vats is 27 to 45 days. The final blending takes place early, at the end of November, and then the wine is put in barrels (33% new) in mid-December to age for a further 12 months.

Taster´s notes

Château Du Retout 2017 has a deep red colour. On the nose, it presents elegant aromas with great aromatic persistence. On the palate, it is round and full, with good volume and fine tannins. We recommend pairing the wine with red meat or cheese. We suggest a serving temperature of 16ºC.

Customer Reviews

The Winery

Château du Retout is characterized in history by its mill of the thirteenth century located at its center which is none other than the highest point of the property (17m high). The crisis of phylloxera (nineteenth century), the war of 14-18 and the division in inheritance have linked this Cru Bourgeois to Château Camino-Salva (Cru Bourgeois) and Chateau Moulina. It was in the 50s that the Kopp family bought and merged these 3 properties. This Médoc”Success Story” was a long-term job since most of the land was uncultivated! Today, Château du Retout is still operated by the Kopp family, represented by Hélène Soual and her husband Frédéric
