Hills and steep slopes around a limestone plateau offer the perfect setting for grape vines to flourish.

The Bellanger family has long opted to preserve national biodiversity with a collection of forests, meadows and pasture.

This balance is one of the particular features which make Château Roquefort a remarkable Entre-Deux-Mers estate.

Grape varieties are selected and planted on the estate according to the different terroirs. Matching the grape variety to the terroir and exposure allows our region’s extraordinary potential to be highlighted.

For reds, 70 hectares containing three grape varieties:

• 60 hectares of Merlot
• 5 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon
• 6 hectares of Cabernet Franc

For white wines, two major Bordeaux grape varieties covering 26 hectares:

• 18 hectares of Sauvignon blanc
• 8 hectares of Semillon

Then comes the delicate work of blending the different varieties to allow their aromas and structure to complement each other perfectly. Château Roquefort wines are born of this passion and expertise.
