The winemaker's pride
In the Médoc Peninsula, between the ocean and the estuary, Vignobles Roland has three appellations. Our AOC Médoc vineyards are located around several villages with names reminiscent of the Southwest: Civrac, Saint-Yzans, Blaignan, Saint-Christoly. The spread of the vines on these clay-limestone and sandy plains brings to our wine a richness and complexity of aromas. Our AOC Haut-Médoc wines come from the vineyards behind our château, Beyzac, and near a medieval abbey in Vertheuil. The important wine-growing past of the region testifies to the quality and richness of the soils, where it is not uncommon to find remains of Gallo-Roman buildings that once stood on this site. The vines of the prestigious Saint-Estephe appellation have the particularity of being located on the gravelly slopes which plunge into the estuary and benefit from an ideal sunshine.
