The name “Roumieu” comes from one of the estate's plots and refers to a place where pilgrims passed on the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela.

Grapes: 89% Sémillon, 10% Sauvignon, 1% Muscadelle
Terroir : a clay and starfish-limestone plateau, made up of a layer of red clay (20 to 40 cm) over a limestone plateau.

Tasting note
The wines of Château Roumieu “Haut Placey” follow in the tradition of long-ageing Sauternes: they can be enjoyed young to appreciate the wide variety of fruit aromas, or left to develop over the years (more than 10 years). Aromas of dried fruit, flowers (acacia or linden), honey and roasted grains then emerge. An elegant, expressive wine that charms with its suppleness and richness: the result of perfect balance.
