Fun Facts: Chateau Romer is perhaps the most obscure Classified growth in Sauternes. In large part, this is due to the size of the estate. In fact, Chateau Romer is the smallest 1855 Classified growth in Sauternes, as well as the smallest classified growth in all of Bordeaux. The annual production is close to 400 cases of Sauternes wine per year. History: Chateau Romer was founded in the 18th century by the Montalier family. Through marriage to a member of the Lur Saluces family, who was quite famous for owning Chateau d'Yquem, the Romer estate was once a part of their vast holdings. Skipping ahead to the 20th century, Chateau Romer was purchased by the Farges family in 1911. A few decades later, the Romer estate was divided up into smaller parts in 1937, which gave birth to what we know of as Chateau Romer du Hayot today. Chateau Romer remained the property of the Farges family for more than 100 years. From 1976 to 2002, the vines were leased to Chateau Romer du Hayot. The estate was purchased by Bernard Magrez in April 2012. The vineyard was however sold to Francois Janoueix, who continues to own and manage the estate today. |
