With 60ha of fine soils , this is one of the leading estates in the Cotes de Blaye appellation. The Chateau itself with its towers is lovely, the chais and the cellars are well equipped and spotless, and offer a worthwhile visit. The grape blend is 65% Me (12 x 75 cl)
Dark ruby colour with soft blackcurranty and plum aromas are enhanced by lovely weight and elegance. The higher part of Merlot makes this wine softer and sweeter with no aggressive tannins and it is delicious for current drinking. (24 x 37.5 cl)

A relatively small estate run by Bernard Germain with a high proportion of Merlot grown on limestone. The bouquet has notes of black cherries, tobacco and roasting, and the palate is full and voluptuous, care of the low yielding old vines. In the mouth there is an explosion of stewed fruits with a final persistence. (6 x 75 cl)
It is this uncompromising respect for the land and its delicate balance that today rewards Bruno Martin with superb results that have exceeded all expectations. From manual harvesting allowing thorough sorting of bunches to sun-ripened concentrated grapes, everything here at château Roland la Garde imbibes the perfect harmony between man and his land. Roland La Garde should be decanted or opened more than one hour before the meal and served at 17°C. To be fully enjoyed after 5 to 10 years. A very fine keeping wine. (12 x 75 cl)
