Chateau Gombaude Guillot Vineyards, Terroir, Grapes, Winemaking
The 6.9-hectare, Right Bank vineyard of Chateau Gombaude Guillot is planted to 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% old vine Malbec, which is more than 80 years of age. This is a significant change in the vineyard with less Merlot and more Cabernet Franc. However, the Malbec is not used in the Grand Vin. It is reserved for their Pom’ N’ Roll wine.
The terroir is gravel, sand, and clay soil. They have good neighbors as they are situated not far from Chateau Trotanoy, Chateau Clinet, and Chateau LEglise Clinet. The vineyard is easily divided into two sections with 4 hectares planted close to the chateau and the remainder of their vines lay close to Chateau Bourgneuf and Chateau Trotanoy.
A few vintages of Chateau Gombaude Guillot Cuvee Speciale were produced starting with the 1985 vintage. The wine is the same as the Grand Vin, except that the Cuvee Speciale was aged in up to 100% new French oak barrels, which was not the case for the regular Grand Vin. 1989 was the final vintage for the Gombaude Guillot Cuvee Speciale.
