Chateau du RetoutChateau Du Retout Haut Medoc 2009 750ml 
The phylloxera crisis of the late 19th century wrought a great deal of damage to the Médoc. This was compounded by difficulties during the First World War and problems caused by French inheritance laws that often led to vineyards being abandoned. Some small estates disappeared entirely.

This is what happened to Château Retou-Rosset in Lamarque and Château Salva-de-Camino in Cussac-Fort-Médoc even though both had been classified as Crus Bourgeois aswell as another small domaine, Château Moulina.

These estates only came back to life in the 1950s, when they were acquired by the Kopp family. While houses remained on the various domaines, many of the plots had lain fallow or been broken up and sold over the years. Only the cellars at Château Camino-Salva were in a fit state to be used.

The vineyards were reconstituted and replanted with infinite patience. The estate still belongs to the Kopp family: father, daughter, and son-in-law.

Château du Retout presently has 34 hectares of vines: 32 hectares in the Haut-Médoc appellation and 2 hectares of mixed white wine varieties.

The vineyard is mostly located on a gravelly rise. A mill dating from the 13th century is in the middle of the vineyard, at its highest point (altitude of 17 metres). The terroir consists of two main soil types: clay and gravel at the bottom of the rise and deep Garonne gravel on the top.

The vines (68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot) are an average 30 years old and vine density is 6,666 per hectare.

The cellars at Château du Retout were rebuilt with concrete vats in the 1960s. A new vat room was constructed in 1973 to house stainless steel vats, all of which have been temperature-controlled since 2001. In the late 1980s, another building was renovated and transformed into a barrel cellar. In 2003, a second cellar with a capacity of 320 French oak barrels was built.

With their own bottling and labelling equipment in order to have complete control over all aspects of winemaking as well as to guarantee impeccable quality and meticulous presentation. They are very precise and attentive to hygiene at all stages of production, from harvest to bottling.

Wine Spectator 91 Points:
Pure and racy, with a bright anise and violet frame to the fine-grained and well-integrated core of plum, red currant, fig and cherry fruit. Pretty flashes of iron and bitter cherry stretch out through the finish. This has a precision that sets is apart from the pack. Best from 2013 through 2021. 8,000 cases made.
