Château Respide-Médeville
Château Respide-Médeville is owned by an illustrious Sauternes family. René Médeville is credited with having established himself as a great Sauternes craftsman in the Bordeaux region, using the long-lasting ageing techniques for which Château Gilette is renowned today. His son Christian succeeded him in 1959, and further developed the ageing techniques for the famous old vintages with the success we all know. He expanded his estates to include Château Respide-Médeville, and soon established himself not only as an eminent vineyard technician, but also as an aesthete of the singular Sauternes wine.

Christian Médeville passionately looks after the 3 estates: Château Gilette, Château Les Justices and Château Respide-Médeville, and his efforts bear fruit. In 2004, his daughter Julie took up the torch with her husband, Xavier Gonet, an oenologist from a very old family of Champagne growers on the Côte des Blancs. Gonet-Médeville Champagnes was born in 2000 from a 7.5-hectare vineyard of Premiers and Grands Crus, and continues the family's winegrowing adventure with passion.

"The 2013 red is a great success, with a level of concentration above the average for the year. If the tannins are still in relief, the substance is present. This wine will evolve gracefully over five good years. " (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF)

Dame de Respide is a second wine with a nose of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) combined with a touch of smoky wood. This is a full-bodied, well-crafted Graves with a silky mouthfeel, demonstrating a fine mastery of ageing. Best served with a fine piece of red meat or roast poultry...
