Château Roquefort
The Château Roquefort estate covers 240 hectares (including 85 hectares of grape vines) at the heart of Entre-deux-Mers between the Garonne and the Dordogne, in a magnificent region known by some as ‘little Tuscany’. Hills and steep slopes around a limestone plateau offer the perfect setting for grape vines to flourish. The Bellanger family has long opted to preserve national biodiversity with a collection of forests, meadows and pasture. This balance is one of the particular features which make Château Roquefort a remarkable Entre-deux-Mers estate.
The vineyards cover a wide range of terroirs with very complementary plantation plots:
Grape varieties have been chosen and planted on the estate according to the terroir. Adapting the grape variety to the terroir brings out the extraordinary potential of our region.
The following grape varieties are planted, depending on the soils and exposure of the various plots:
– Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc on the 43 ha planted for red and rosé wines
– Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon on the 42 ha for white wines.
Then there’s the painstaking task of blending certain grape varieties so that their aromas and structure complement each other perfectly.
