User profile description

Founded in 1775, the Saby vineyard has been present in the Saint-Emilionnais for 9 generations, under 7 appellations on 70 hectares. This family vineyard was born in the eighteenth century, 1775, after the acquisition of the first plot in Saint-Emilion. Château ROZIER created in the twentieth century has constantly developed and today has 28 hectares. Jean-Bernard in 1979 bought the château HAUCHAT under the name Fronsac and Bordeaux Supérieur. In 2002, the family vineyard took over the exploitation of Château SAINT ANDRE CORBIN and vinified three new appellations since the 2003 vintage: Saint-Georges-Saint-Emilion, Montage Saint-Emilion and Lalande de Pomerol. From this day, Château ROZIER and Château SAINT ANDRE CORBIN are the jewels of the Saby family. Heirs of the family passion, the sons Jean-Christophe and Jean-Philippe, oenologists, produce powerful and ripe wines while combining traditions and modernity. Respect is the key word for these two brothers who make sure to produce quality wines. Despite the diversity of soils, vintage after vintage the Saby vineyards produce wines with a beautiful dark ruby color, with an intense nose of blossoming red fruits that have the characteristics of the great wines of the region. This know-how is regularly starred in the Hachette Wine Guide. They are also greeted by gold medals in the three major competitions: Concours agricole de Paris, Challenge international and Concours d'Aquitaine. At the moment, the small family business has evolved well and has more than 70 hectares of vines under different appellations of great renown in this Bordeaux region
