Informations
In the heart of the Haut-Médoc appellation, between Margaux and Saint-Julien, Château Retout’s 34.5 hectares are established on a deep gravel and clay terroir. For more than fifty years, the Kopp family has unveiled this Cru by creating harmonious wines combining freshness and persistence. The white cuvées lead you down untrodden paths and stretch the winemaking couple’s limits.
