Château Robin
Château Robin is a very old estate that was mentioned in the first edition of Guide Féretin 1874.
Owned by the Caillé family since 2004, the property has twelve and a half hectares under production in Côtes de Castillon,part of the fabled Bordeaux region.
Robert M. Parker, Jr. has this to say about the Côtes de Castillon in the fourth edition ofhis book, ‘Bordeaux’. “Now the most fashionable of the satellite appellations [of Bordeaux], the Côtes de Castillon is a hotbed of activity as well as fertile hunting ground for a bevy of overachievers...
Located east of Puisseguin-St.-Emilion, approximately 25 miles from Bordeaux, the appellation is named after the commune called Castillon-La-Bataille, which commemorates the Battle of Castillon.
This 1453 battle marked the conclusion of the Hundred Years’ War when the English Commander, Talbot, died during the defeat of his army.
As one of the older winemaking regions in the area, viticultural practices can be traced to Roman times. Appellation status was awarded in 1955 and there has been significantlymore interest expressed in the wines as a lower-priced alternative to the wines of St.-Emilion.”
The average age of the vines are 40 years.
