Château Le Castelet Le Castelet

Les Vins Robin
Château Le Castelet (POMEROL) & Château Busquet (LUSSAC - SAINT-ÉMILION) are owned by the
Robin family, growers, winemakers and wine merchants in the area since the 18th century. The winemaker is
Pauline Robin, the talented 27-year-old daughter of Dominique and Armelle Robin. Along with science and
enology degrees from Bordeaux's major technical schools and the University of Bordeaux, Robin worked in
the vineyards and wine cellars of Opus One, Chateau Latour, Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion, Petrus and
the wineries of the renowned Moueix family. It's an impressive fast-track resume.
Château Le Castelet.
The Vineyard: One hectare of Merlot, of four different clones, are planted on sandy gravel soil. Already it has been
interesting to see how each different type reacts and research here is helping with replanting at other vineyards belonging to the
Robin Family.
Vinification: The wines of Château Le Castelet are vinified in stainless steel vats with a fairly long fermentation
period before being aged in 100% new Merrain oak barrels. They take on a marked oak character which, married to the
roundness of the Merlot, produces a very distinctive style of wine, extremely agreeable almost from bottling. There has not yet
been enough time to test the ageing capacities of Château Le Castelet.
