Château Rochemorin
On the gravel crests of Martillac in Pessac‑Léognan, Château de Rochemorin stands with a name inseparable from Montesquieu, who owned the estate in the 18th century and helped champion its wines. The soils shift from deep Graves to slightly more clay-driven pockets; that diversity, tempered by nearby pine woods, sets the tone as much as the Gironde climate.
Since 1973, the André Lurton family has shaped Rochemorin with a quietly avant‑garde mindset: plot work, sustainability and cellar choices that favor clarity over sheer extraction. The whites gain breadth through sur lie work, while the reds take definition and length from French oak without losing their smoky Graves signature.
Rochemorin feels like Pessac‑Léognan with memory and modernity aligned—mineral, structured, and unmistakably of its gravelly place.Château Rochemorin
