Description

The Dumas-Gauthier family has owned Château Platon in Sainte Radegonde, about ten kilometers southeast of Cotes du Castillon since 1907. Until Christelle Gauthier, daughter of the previous owner, took over in 2011, the wine was sold in bulk to the local cooperative. The vines grow on ten hectares of gently sloping vineyards with grass grown between the rows in order to limit the yields, and soil is worked three times each season to discourage superficial roots. Christelle made her first vintage in 2015 (with the help of her friend Jean-François Meynard of Château La Bourree), the vintage was a great success and the first ever wines to be bottled on the property.

Deep, dark colour with a delicate purple hue, fruity aroma of raspberry, well-balanced, perceptible notes of cherry, and in the finish mocha coffee
