Château SAINT ROBERT - Cuvée Poncet Deville - Blanc 2018
Saint-Robert was originally a seigneury called "noble house". The first official traces of the estate date from 1686 when it belonged to the old family of Duroy. In 1751, to add more glamour to his recent nobility of dress, Pierre-Joseph de Pascal bought the estate which, a few years later, returned as a result of inheritance to Henri de Pressac. Then left progressively abandoned, Saint-Robert successively wipe the revolutionary turmoil and frost of 1794 to be reborn in the nineteenth century and become a real wine castle of fame, under the impetus of its owner, Mr. Poncet Deville.
Today, the red grape variety is 28 hectares (Merlot 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20% and Cabernet Franc 20%) and 6 hectares in white with Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
The Poncet Deville cuvée is made from the best parcels and the oldest vines of Château Saint-Robert. It embodies the best of the terroir, in honor of one of its owners.
Blend of 80% Sauvignon and 20% Semillon. After manual harvesting in small crates to preserve the integrity of the fruit, the vinification takes place in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks before aging in the same container, on its lees, for 9 to 10 months.
