Château Roche-Lalande: the elegance of a historic terroir, the vision of a modern estate
Château Roche-Lalande
An AOC Pessac-Leognan property, south of Bordeaux, born in the 17th century on a rise of deep gravels. Taken over in 2004 by Brigitte and Jose Rodrigues-Lalande, it crafts racy reds and whites, in the precise style of the Graves.
Born in the 17th century, the vineyard of Château Roche-Lalande rests on a rise of deep gravels, a soil typical of the great wines of Pessac-Leognan. This rare composition ensures perfect natural drainage, incomparable thermal regulation and an exposure that gives the grapes ideal ripeness, revealing a vibrant, precise style marked by the finesse typical of the Graves.
In 2004, Brigitte and Jose Rodrigues-Lalande took over this property with a clear ambition: to raise this heritage to the rank of the appellation's high-end references, relying on a twofold approach, tradition and innovation.

A contemporary cellar echoing the terroir
Long regarded as mere places of production, cellars have become true architectural symbols. That of Château Roche-Lalande stands out as one of the most accomplished in the region: its architecture, sculpted in a facade of pebbles and gravels, directly recalls the soils that gave the Graves their name. Designed in an eco-responsible approach, it combines cutting-edge technology, controlled thermal management, high-performance stainless-steel vats and absolute respect for the grape. It is in this setting that the estate's reds and whites are aged with precision.
This visionary cellar is now featured in the Architectures et Paysages collection, co-published by the CAUE de la Gironde: a rare distinction that underlines the successful meeting of wine heritage, contemporary creation and environmental commitment.
