Chateau Saint Robert Blanc Graves is Beautiful clear pale yellow robe with green highlights which presents delicate aromas of white fruit (pear, nectarine, white peach, and quince) and acacia flowers. The attack is very round, well balanced, lively and fresh on the palate with citrus notes (orange peel, lime) and white fruit. This wine has
good length with a hint of bitterness on the finish.

In order to keep the grapes from becoming damaged, small baskets are used for harvesting. The grapes are then moved by
gravity into the press. A delicate and
progressive extraction of the must is carried
out by the pneumatic press followed by a very
gentle settling.
Chateau Saint-Robert is vinified in stainless
steel thermo-regulated vats (between 18°c
and 20°c) and aged for 6 months before
being bottled.

Chateau Saint-Robert is located at Pujols-sur-Ciron, 45km from
the city of Bordeaux.
The Ciron River, which flows just a few kilometres from the
property, helps to form the morning mist in autumn.
The domain is situated near the prestigious Classified
Growths of Barsac and not far from the PessacLeognan Grands Crus.

THE REGION

The vine was introduced to the Bordeaux region by the Romans, probably in the mid-first century, to provide wine for local consumption, and wine production has been continuous in the region since.

Bordeaux wine growing area has about 116,160 hectares (287,000 acres) of vineyards, 57 appellations, 10,000 wine-producing estates (châteaux) and 13,000 grape growers. With an annual production of approximately 960 million bottles,[34] the Bordeaux area produces large quantities of everyday wine as well as some of the most expensive wines in the world. Included among the latter are the area’s five premier cru (First Growth) red wines (four from Médoc and one, Château Haut-Brion, from Graves), established by the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855:

Both red and white wines are made in the Bordeaux region. Red Bordeaux wine is called claret in the United Kingdom. Red wines are generally made from a blend of grapes, and may be made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit verdot, Malbec, and, less commonly in recent years, Carménère.

White Bordeaux is made from Sauvignon blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. Sauternes is a sub-region of Graves known for its intensely sweet, white, dessert wines
