Château de Respide
Château de Respide produces wines from Bordeaux's Graves appellation, where gravelly soils and a maritime climate shape distinctive expressions of the region's classic varieties. The winery's Callipyge Graves Blanc, built on Sauvignon Blanc, demonstrates the crisp minerality and aromatic precision the terroir affords. On the red side, Callipyge Graves Rouge blends Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Sauvignon into a structured wine, while the Reserve Graves—a Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend—offers a more approachable entry point. These wines have been assessed by Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate, reflecting the winery's standing within serious critical circles. Graves remains one of Bordeaux's most underrated regions, capable of producing age-worthy reds and whites of genuine complexity.
