List of products by brand CHATEAU COUTELOR LA ROMARINE

Set on the hillsides above the Dordogne valley at Eynesse in the Gironde, Château Coutelor la Romarine covers 17 hectares within the Bordeaux appellation, on clay-limestone soils interlaced with ancient alluvial gravels. A property with roots stretching back to the reign of Henri IV, it was taken over in 1998 by oenologist Corinne Sicard-Legendre, who made the decisive choice to leave the local cooperative and vinify the entire estate's production herself — red, white, and rosé. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the rigour of its winemaking approach, the genuine character of its Gironde terroir, and the clarity of purpose that runs through every bottle. A Bordeaux address well worth knowing.

Château Coutelor la Romarine represents much of what we find most compelling about Bordeaux: a family property rooted in a precise and well-defined terroir, driven by an oenologist who chose to vinify every vintage herself rather than surrender her fruit to a cooperative. The result is a range of wines that speak directly of their place — and of the person behind them.

A château with deep historical roots

The origins of Château Coutelor la Romarine reach back as far as the reign of Henri IV, lending this Gironde property a remarkable continuity of purpose across the centuries. In 1998, Corinne Sicard-Legendre — a qualified oenologist — took over the running of the château and made an immediate and significant decision: to withdraw from the local cooperative and bring all vinification in-house. This was not merely an administrative change but a statement of intent, placing the full weight of the estate's identity in the hands of a single, committed producer. Today, the château is operated under the name EARL Vignoble Sicard, and Corinne's oenological expertise informs every stage of the winemaking process, from canopy management in the vineyard to élevage in the cellars.

Terroir: hillside soils above the Dordogne

The château sits at Eynesse (Gironde, 33220), on slopes that look out over the Dordogne valley — a position that brings both natural drainage and a gentle moderating influence on the ripening season. Across its 17 hectares, the soils shift between clay-limestone and ancient alluvial deposits charged with gravel, a combination that encourages deep root development and lends the wines a structural backbone characteristic of the best Bordeaux terroirs. The hillside exposure ensures good sunlight hours without excessive heat accumulation, supporting the even ripening of the estate's range of varieties.

Grape varieties and winemaking philosophy

The vineyard is planted with the classic Bordeaux palette: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc for the reds and rosé, alongside Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon for the whites. Corinne Sicard-Legendre's background as an oenologist is evident in the precision of her approach — each variety is managed and vinified with close attention to the specific character of the parcel it comes from. The decision to vinify en propre rather than deliver to a cooperative means that every bottle carries a direct and traceable relationship to the land and the vintage.

The wine range at Château Coutelor la Romarine

The château produces wines across three colours within the Bordeaux appellation, offering a coherent and well-rounded range that reflects the full potential of the estate's terroir:

  • Red Bordeaux — built on Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, showing the clay-limestone structure of the hillside parcels
  • White Bordeaux — a Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blend, vinified with the precision one expects from an oenologist-led estate
  • Rosé Bordeaux — a less common offering in the appellation, produced with the same rigour applied to the other colours

Why we have selected Château Coutelor la Romarine

At Halles Quercamps, we are drawn to producers who make clear choices — and Corinne Sicard-Legendre's decision in 1998 to take full control of her vinification is precisely the kind of commitment we look for. The clay-limestone and gravel soils at Eynesse give the wines a genuine sense of place within the broader Bordeaux appellation, and the oenological rigour behind each cuvée ensures consistency across vintages. This is a château that will appeal particularly to those who enjoy classic Bordeaux character without the weight of a classified-growth price tag — and who appreciate knowing that a single, knowledgeable hand has guided the wine from vine to bottle. The reds pair well with roast lamb or a well-aged hard cheese; the white is a natural companion to river fish or a simple plateau de fruits de mer.
