INFOS
The story
For four generations, members of the Laydis family have lived wine as a passion. Since grandfather Théophile acquired the first hectares on the hill of Calon, in the heart of Montagne Saint-Emilion, and passed them on to his son-in-law Robert and his daughter Simone, the family has forged an unbreakable bond with the land from which it draws its product: the know-how develops there from generation to generation.
Today it is Bernard, son of Robert and Simone, and his wife Sylvie, with their grown-up children Thomas and Marie, who come to draw their strength, forge their character, recharge their batteries together in the heart of the family estate. Doesn't wine have the power to seal a solid attachment around strong moments? It is this vital force, born from the meeting of a terroir of character and the extraordinary personalities of those who work it, that we feel in these singular wines.
Château Roc de Calon perfectly symbolizes the symbiosis between men and the wine they produce: as a matter of fact, each of the estate's cuvées resembles one or other of the members of the family. So many different personalities and wines... which come together without looking alike.
The vintage
2016 is a great vintage with its ideal spring temperatures that enabled the bud burst to occur in the best possible conditions. The summer was then very hot and dry. A vintage of great complexity and power!
