List of products by brand CHATEAU ROUMIEU

Château Roumieu is a family-owned winery nestled in the heart of the Sauternes AOC, in the southern part of Bordeaux. The name “Roumieu” refers to a historic vineyard plot and echoes the term used by the Moors for Christian pilgrims—“romei”—traveling the route to Santiago de Compostela. This symbolic connection reflects the winery’s commitment to heritage, authenticity, and meaningful winemaking.

The estate benefits from a unique microclimate due to the meeting of the cool Ciron River and the warmer Garonne, creating morning mists ideal for the development of Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot, which is essential for Sauternes wines.

Harvesting is done manually and in several passes, selecting only the most botrytized grapes. Fermentation follows traditional methods, with careful temperature control to ensure the balance between freshness, complexity, and sweetness.

Wines like the “Haut Placey” label showcase the winery’s hallmark style: rich and layered aromatics, silky textures, and great aging potential. Perfect alongside foie gras, blue cheeses, or as a contemplative dessert wine.

Château Roumieu is a must-know name for those seeking authentic, handcrafted Sauternes that embody the soul of Bordeaux.
