This is undoubtedly one of the strengths of French vineyards, and one that no wine from the New World can usurp: a rich history. And in this field, Ch\u00e2teau Rousseau de Sipian is a remarkable example.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The history of the estate<\/h2>\n

The Ch\u00e2teau Rousseau de Sipian<\/a> estate was created in the 19th century by Guillaume Rousseau, owner of the Fr\u00eache estate, and Marie Bert, owner of the Sipian estate. In the early days of the Third Republic, Aristide Rousseau, then master of the house, had this splendid neo-Renaissance ch\u00e2teau built.<\/p>\n

At a time when the use of labels is becoming increasingly widespread, the domaine’s wines are gaining in notoriety. In the early 2000s, the Racey family acquired Ch\u00e2teau Rousseau de Sipian, which enjoys a privileged location in the heart of the M\u00e9doc. True wine lovers, the new owners embarked on a major restoration and modernization project to return the ch\u00e2teau to its former splendor.<\/p>\n

Not long ago, a Chinese investment group with a passion for French culture acquired the estate, and since then has been scrupulously respecting its traditions and ancestral know-how.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”15048″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Terroir and vineyard characteristics<\/h2>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Rousseau de Sipian proudly overlooks the Gironde estuary. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot are planted on this impressive 10-hectare estate.<\/p>\n

In order to allow the M\u00e9doc terroir to express itself through its grapes, the vines here are the object of particular care, with the aim of producing the exceptional wine of Ch\u00e2teau Rousseau de Sipian.<\/p>\n

And to produce one of the M\u00e9doc<\/a>‘s finest wines, the estate favors limited yields and hand-picking.<\/p>\n

And to discover this AOC wine, the Ch\u00e2teau team welcomes wine-lovers by appointment for an introduction to the history of the estate, a tour of the premises and a tasting of two different vintages with commentary and guidance from a sommelier. This activity is offered from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm and from 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”15049″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Estate wines<\/h2>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Rousseau de Sipian is a subtle blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. These come directly from the estate’s most favorably exposed plots. As mentioned above, the grapes are harvested by hand, at the height of ripeness. Once harvested, the grapes are vinified precisely in line with the qualitative potential of each vintage.<\/p>\n

Once these first two stages have been completed, Ch\u00e2teau Rousseau de Sipian wines are matured for a full year in oak barrels. Only then are the batches carefully blended and the resulting wine bottled.<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Rousseau de Sipian produces 55,000 bottles a year, with some great vintages to discover, such as the 2013 vintage, which won the Gilbert et Gaillard Gold Medal.<\/p>\n
