About Winery and Wines
The Clos Vieux Rochers vineyard is nestled in the scenic countryside near Puisseguin, close to the renowned Saint-Émilion region. Owned by Robert Brimfield and Stephen McMahon, the vineyard has been producing high-quality Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux wines for many years. With their passion for winemaking, they have enhanced the estate, renovating both the buildings and the vineyard itself. They aim to create wines that cater to modern and traditional tastes alike. In addition to wine production, they offer accommodation in four beautifully renovated one-bedroom gîtes, allowing guests to experience the vineyard firsthand. Tours and tastings are available, providing visitors with insights into the winemaking process and the history of the estate.
Brimfield and McMahon's venture into winemaking was driven by their love for wine and previous experience in the industry. They have successfully transformed Clos Vieux Rochers, blending tradition with innovation to create wines that captivate a diverse range of palates. The estate offers a welcoming experience, combining the tranquility of vineyard life with the pleasure of enjoying fine wine and comfortable accommodations.
Clos Vieux Rochers produces a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc under the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. Aged for 18 months in two-year-old French oak barrels, the wine presents a black cherry color, with dark fruit, vanilla, and hazelnut aromas. On the palate, it delivers forest fruit flavors, complemented by woody and spicy notes, creating a harmonious and soulful wine. The terroir mirrors that of nearby Saint-Émilion, reflecting the estate's dedication to crafting exceptional wines.
