2019 Chateau Romefort Villa Romefort 'Les Sables Noir' Haut-Medoc
A historic name reborn, the 2019 ‘Les Sables Noir’ revives the 19th-century legacy of Château Romefort, sourced from 18 hectares of original vineyard land in Cussac-Fort-Médoc. This Cru Bourgeois delivers classic Left Bank depth: spiced plum, black cherry, licorice, vanilla, walnut, and a hint of raw mushroom. Full-bodied and firmly textured, it layers plush dark fruit over fine-grained tannins, finishing long and chalky with true Médoc restraint. A modern return to form with unmistakable heritage.
Structured, soulful, and built to age—secure your bottles now and revisit after 2024.

Aromas of spiced plums, black cherries, licorice, vanilla and walnut. Some raw mushroom, too. Full-bodied. Firm and textured with a deep core of fruit underneath plush and fine grained tannins. Lingering, chalky finish. Try after 2024.

The 2019 Villa Romefort Les Sables Noirs is slightly more expressive and open compared to the 2020 yet has similar red fruits, loamy earth, spice, and dried flower-like aromas and flavors. It's balanced, medium-bodied, silky, and just a gorgeous drink. Enjoy bottles over the coming decade.
Wine Enthusiast
From an estate next to Lamothe Bergeron, this wine is ripe with structure and perfumed black fruits. The full, dense texture is balanced by juicy acidity. Drink from 2025.
