Descrizione

The Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux "Mon Nom" is a French red wine that embodies the quintessential characteristics of its terroir. Made predominantly from Merlot grapes, followed by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is a hallmark of the viticulture in the Bordeaux region, renowned worldwide for its extraordinary complex and deep red wines.

On the nose, "Mon Nom" offers an enveloping bouquet of ripe red fruits, notes of plums, and a subtle hint of spices and dark chocolate, stemming from barrel aging. On the palate, the structure is robust yet balanced, with finely crafted tannins supporting a long and pleasantly persistent finish.

Ideal for pairing with rich dishes such as roasts, stews, or aged cheeses, this wine stands out for its elegance and its ability to evolve beautifully over time. Serve at a temperature of 16-18°C to fully appreciate all its nuances.

Winery history

The site and local archives record traces of vineyards in the Sainte-Colombe area dating back to the Gallo-Roman era, with written references from the 18th century. The property, formerly associated with Philippe Bardet, was purchased in 2015 by Australians Glenda and Frank Kalyk, who relaunched the operation with a focus on local production and hospitality.

Production philosophy

Low-intervention production based on single-parcel vinifications: the winery states it follows a philosophy described as «Ouvipo», meaning self‑imposed rules and constraints to enhance Merlot and the terroir.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyard is located in Sainte-Colombe, on a clay‑limestone ridge associated with the Saint-Émilion / Castillon‑Côtes‑de‑Bordeaux terroir. The soils are described as clay‑limestone.
