Château Bertin Montagne-Saint-Emilion

Winemaker Château Bertin on the winery

“Château Bertin is part of the Saby family estate, where wine has been made in Bordeaux for nine generations. The château has existed in its present form since 1870 and is located on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, near Libourne. Over the years, we have built a strong connection with the vineyards around Saint-Émilion and the neighbouring appellations. Our approach combines traditional expertise with modern winemaking techniques, always placing the quality of the grapes at the heart of what we do.”

And on Bordeaux, France

“Our vineyards are located in Montagne-Saint-Émilion, just northeast of the renowned village of Saint-Émilion. The clay and limestone soils are particularly well suited to Merlot, which brings ripe fruit and a supple structure to the wine. Our Château Bertin is made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. We hand-harvest the grapes and age the wine for around twelve months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels. The result is a classic Bordeaux with ripe dark fruit, delicate spice and smooth tannins.”
