Château de Rochemorin
A brief history
The Patchwork of Terroirs
With its unusual architecture, Château de Rochemorin stands at an altitude of 56 m, the highest point in the commune of Martillac, on one of the highest gravelly hilltops in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. In the 18th century, the estate was owned by one of the most famous and greatest philosophers of the “Age of Enlightenment”: Charles Louis de Secondat, future Baron de Montesquieu and Seigneur de La Brède. Château de Rochemorin is characterized by the great diversity of its terroir. This variety of soils and the grape varieties associated with them produce mineral, expressive white wines and increasingly fine, elegant red wines.
Rochemorin wines are regularly selected by sommeliers and feature on over 250 Michelin-starred tables in France and abroad. They lend themselves perfectly to food and wine pairings.
