Château Roquefort

Jean and Christiane Bellanger bought Château Roquefort in Entre-deux-Mers in 1976. The first thirty hectares of vines were planted in 1983, the first wine followed in 1987, and Frédéric Bellanger assumed leadership in 1995.

Frédéric and Anne Bellanger now lead an estate of roughly 240 hectares, with about eighty-five hectares under vine and the balance kept as woodland, pasture and other living habitat. The vineyard’s limestone and clay include pockets rich in fossilised oyster shells.
