The vine enjoys natural drainage and exposure to the sun favorable to the production of concentrated wines, tannic and aromatic tannins on the coasts. Swept by the winds, the air is healthier there and requires less the intervention of the man.
At the Château Rocher Bellevue the wine of hilltop are doubly consecrated: they have the character of these wines of elevation and the noble elegance of their Bordeaux tradition.
Château Rocher Bellevue produces racy, powerful and elegant rib wines. The vineyards extend over an area of 19 hectares divided into two communes: that of Saint-Magne-de-Castillon with clay-limestone soils and that of Saint-Genès-de-Castillon with clay-loam soils.
These two very different terroirs produce wines with a unique character: the vineyards of the hills give powerful and structured wines, those at the bottom of the coast are fresh, supple and aromatic wines.
