Château Roumieu is a family property passed down from generation to generation since the 18th century. Each generation has maintained a love for terroir, respect for traditional viticulture methods and a belief in the moral duty to pass on this knowledge from generation to generation. The name “Roumieu” refers to an important stage along the ancient pilgrimage route of “Saint-Jacques de Compostelle”, or Camino de Santiago, in medieval times – when “Roumieu” was used by the Moors to describe Christians. A scallop shell, adopted as the Chateau's emblem, appears on the label, as “Saint-Jacques” is the French word for scallop. The Château is located on the limestone-clay plateau of Haut-Barsac, in the same terroir as the most prestigious Cru de Sauternes wines, with Climens (1st cru) and Doisy-Védrines (2nd cru) both adjacent to the property. Over the years, the Craveia-Goyaud family has been committed to protecting the unique character of the terroir.

Tasting Notes: Very aromatic with notes of linden and other toasted and floral touches present from the bouquet to the finish.
