Christophe knows each parcel of his vineyard inside out, feeling closer to Burgundy in spirit than Bordeaux. Only the best lieux-dits are retained, he doesn’t believe in second wines, if a parcel isn’t good enough then he sells it on.
He returned to his family estate in Bordeaux in the mid-1990s, where he works tirelessly in the vineyard and the winery to create some of the best value for money wines around at all levels. His wines offer a clear, bright black cherry colour, a kernel of rich fruit with great depth, and superb texture with good freshness and marked mineral flavours. Very, very long on the finish. For drinking now to 2030+.

Hand-harvested grapes undergo 24-hour chilling before barrel fermentation (30% new oak) and eight months ageing on fine lees with monthly bâtonnage. The wine reveals a pale gold hue with aromas of citrus, acacia, and toasted almonds, layered with hints of asparagus. On the palate, creamy textures balance vibrant acidity, offering baked apricot, peach, and candied orange zest, finishing with subtle oak spice. Certified organic, it embodies Pessac-Léognan’s signature richness and minerality, ideal with grilled seafood or roasted poultry.

Stéphane Derenoncourt has been consultant for many years and Rol Valentin is now one of the most sought-after Saint Emilion in Bordeaux. The wines are intense, deep and rich, and made in tiny quantities.
The wine is a blend of 78% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 7% Malbec. Gentle punch downs and a 15 month period in barrel makes for an elegant style of Saint Emilion but one which ages beautifully.

Two expressions reveal their terroir: an oak-aged cuvée with depth and spice, and a vibrant unoaked version, both bursting with ripe red fruit and silky tannins. These are wines that marry approachability with cellar-worthy structure, offering the best of both worlds.

A blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% resurgent Malbec.
Pesticide-free for years, the vineyard uses grass cover and sheep to maintain biodiversity. Transitioning to organic, it holds HVE certification.
With restrained maceration and ageing, the wine delivers a classic, medium-bodied Saint-Émilion, perfect with roast meats or duck.

With roots dating to 1678, it’s one of the appellation’s rare multi-century family estates.
Today, Jean Anney, son Christophe and granddaughter Aurélie continue the legacy. Their wine stands apart in Saint-Estèphe for its uncommon elegance, achieved through mature vines, Merlot-dominant plantings, prime terroir selection, and sustainable practices.

The beautifully restored château, tragically damaged in a 2022 fire, remains in the devoted care of owner Thomas Sullivan.
Since acquiring Gaby in 2016, Sullivan has deepened the estate’s organic commitment while preserving its winemaking heritage. The south-facing limestone slopes yield wines of remarkable elegance, a testament to both exceptional terroir and thoughtful stewardship during this chapter of renewal.
