Chateau Saint Robert
History
The first official traces of the estate date from 1686. It then belonged to the old family of parliamentary nobility Duroy. In 1751, to add more sparkle to his recent elite of dress, Pierre-Joseph de Pascal bought the domain, which, a few years later, returned due to inheritance to Henri de Pressac. Then gradually abandoned, Saint-Robert successively wiped the revolutionary turmoil and the frosts of 1794 to be reborn in the 19th century and become a renowned wine chateau under the leadership of its owner, Mr Poncet Deville.
Vineyard
Chateau Saint-Robert has a vineyard of about 33 hectares planted for the most part in the Graves AOC. The vineyard is composed of about thirty plots, mainly grouped around the wine cellars, at the location known as “l’Enclos de Robert”, a former walled enclosure. The vineyard lies on a plateau, which is mainly sandy-clay over limestone and benefits from good exposure.
