About The Winery

Château Bois de Rolland is located on the Coubeyrac plateau in Bordeaux, close to Saint Emilion. This part of Bordeaux is known for clay and limestone soils, which help create reds with fruit depth, structure and savoury complexity.

The estate is run by the Géromin family, who focus on careful vineyard work and detailed winemaking to produce expressive Bordeaux Supérieur with character and value. The Vieilles Vignes label highlights older vine fruit, which can bring extra concentration, texture and depth to the wine.

Bordeaux Supérieur is a classification for wines made under stricter rules than standard Bordeaux, often with lower yields, riper fruit and more structure. In this wine, Merlot brings plum, cherry and roundness, while Cabernet Sauvignon adds blackcurrant, cedar, tannin and length.
