Château Malromé

Château Malromé is a historic estate and the former family home of the painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Since 2005 and the change in ownership, Château Malromé has been on its way to becoming one of the finest, if not the benchmark estate, of the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation. The Château Malromé vineyard covers approximately 40 hectares of vines on an exceptional terroir composed of clay-gravel alluvial deposits brought by the formation of the Pyrenean rift valley, which gave rise to the Garonne River.

The Château Malromé estate is now under the stewardship of Charles Traonouëz, who cultivates his vines by combining quality production with respect for the environment and the terroir. Yields are deliberately controlled through careful attention to the vines throughout their growing cycle, including debudding, leaf removal, suckering, and green harvesting. The focus is on achieving optimal grape ripeness. The wines of Château Malromé are produced using traditional Bordeaux methods: the reds are made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec grapes, and undergo extended aging in oak barrels for 12 to 18 months, depending on the vintage. The whites, vinified and aged in barrels, are made from Sémillon, Sauvignon, and Muscadelle grapes, which lend them richness, liveliness, and floral aromas, respectively.
