Welcome to Chateau Rousseau de Sipian

Chateau Rousseau de Sipian, is home to a variety of quality wines from the famous Bordeaux region of France.

Under new British ownership and in the skilled hands of a talented French winemaker, Chateau Rousseau de Sipian is producing Clarets of superb quality and value. Following the accolade of a Gold Medal for its 2001 vintage, the Chateau is going from strength to strength. Carefully tended vineyards produce deliberately small crops where the 'estate policy' is to invest everything in producing quality before quantity.

The care and attention given to the vine have but one objective, to produce a wine that is the expression of the terroir through the grapes that go to make Château Rousseau de Sipian. Limited yields, the importance given to the work of the vine and harvesting by hand are the criteria for making a great Medoc wine. Such is the philosophy of Christopher Racey who, in 2000 together with his father, Roy, bought this enchanting Château on the outskirts of the Medoc with which they had fallen in love.
