Château de Respide is a Graves estate that has a long and illustrious history. It is located in the commune of Langon and is most renowned for the quality of its reds although its white wine is equally distinguished. The handsome château is set in a beautiful wooded park and was once home to one of Louis X1V's ministers.

The red wine is a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and is consistently smooth and elegant displaying succulent ripe black fruit with sufficient tannins and structure to enable it to develop in bottle for up to 5 years. The white wine is a blend of 65% Semillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc and is harmonious and well balanced - it ideally requires a minimum of 3 years of bottle ageing before it should be broached.
