Collection: Château Romer du Hayot

Château Romer du Hayot is a Second Cru Classé estate in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, located in the Sauternes appellation in the southern Graves. The property dates back to at least the 17th century, originally part of a larger estate established by the Montalier family. It was classified in 1855 under the name Château Romer. In 1937, the majority of the vineyards were sold to the Du Hayot family, creating the present estate. The original château buildings were demolished in the 1970s during road construction, and winemaking has since been carried out at facilities within the Du Hayot holdings.

The vineyard covers around 15 hectares, planted predominantly to Sémillon, with smaller proportions of Sauvignon Blanc and a little Muscadelle. Vines average roughly 35 years of age. The estate produces approximately 25,000 bottles annually. Harvesting is done by hand, with multiple selective passes through the vineyard to pick botrytised grapes. Fermentation takes place partly in oak barrels, and the wines are typically aged for two to three years before release. Soils are clay-limestone and gravel, typical of Sauternes, contributing to both concentration and structural balance in the finished wines.
