CHÂTEAU HAUT VIEUX CHÊNE

600 years old ! That’s the age of the old oak planted on our land, to which the Château pays tribute. It’s there to remind us of the estate’s history. When my family bought it in 1879, the Chalet Régner, as it was formerly known, grew oak for timber. They replaced these with Ugni Blanc vines. I am the fourth generation of the Roy family on the estate to perpetuate our expertise while diversifying.

Tasting comments:

A beautiful deep colour with purple glints. The nose is ripe of dense fruit, emphasised by spicy, woody notes. On the palate, the frank attack softens with well-integrated tannins. An expression of ripe fruit is underpinned with freshness. Velvety and pleasant in style, with great generosity.
