Castillon - Côtes de Bordeaux · France
Wine Enthusiast 91/100 · Wine Spectator 86/100
Château Goubau sits in Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux, the easternmost appellation of Bordeaux's Right Bank. The region's clay and limestone soils produce wines of structure and depth, anchored by Merlot with supporting Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Le G de Goubau, the winery's flagship, blends these three varieties into a wine that reflects the appellation's character—firm tannins, dark fruit, and mineral undertones. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have both assessed the winery's output, recognizing the precision of its work. Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux has emerged as a source of serious, age-worthy Bordeaux at a remove from the prestige pricing of the Left Bank, and Château Goubau's wines exemplify that value proposition.
