Château du RETOUT
Cru bourgeois supérieur
- 2020
- Haut-médoc
A family property since the 1950s, the arrival of a new generation has awakened this 32-hectare cru bourgeois in Cussac-Fort-Médoc, between Saint-Julien and Margaux. Revealed in 2012, du Retout climbs another notch in 2018 and 2019 with enthusiastic, sincere and tasty Haut-Médoc, full of fruit and carried by fresh tannins. Congratulations!
The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (October 2023): 92/100 “A sure value: the wine is delicious, with a gourmet expression of fruit and good volume on the palate. The finish is carried by creamy tannins.”
J-M Quarin (March 2024): 91/100 “Spicy nuances. Minute on the entry, very well constructed in the middle, both melting and dense, the wine evolves juicy, tasty and a tad firm in the persistence. This firmness is reminiscent of Saint-Estèphe."

Although produced in Lamarque in the heart of Haut-Médoc, this is the most original dry white wine in the Gironde, a blend of gros manseng (as in Jurançon), sauvignon gris (superior to the more common sauvignon blanc), savagnin (as in Jura) and mondeuse blanche (as in Savoie). All this gives a dry white wine with golden reflections, powerful, sapy, fruity, complex and elegant. A special wine!
