Château Reysson
Near Vertheuil in the northern Médoc, Château Reysson in the Médoc surprises with a soil more akin to the Right Bank: clay‑limestone studded with fossil asterias. Its roots reach back to the 17th century, and the estate took the name Reysson in the late 19th century, with an imposing cellar still watching over the vines.
This uncommon ground favours Merlot and Cabernet Franc; recent pedological work and parcel refocusing have sharpened the style, aligning plantings with the best zones. Recognised as Cru Bourgeois Supérieur in 2020, the property offers Haut‑Médoc with a distinct accent.
Reysson feels like a quiet ridge of limestone within a sea of gravel: straight, fresh and mineral in its line, with finely knit tannins and a cool tension that makes the Médoc not louder, but more precise.Château Reysson
