Produced by Alain Aubert in Saint-Magne-de-Castillon, this release was selected as a jubilee wine for the distributor Vingstokken, following the success of the estate's 1982 vintage. The distinctive label features a motif painted by violinist and artist Marianne Rydell, who drew her inspiration from the 200th anniversary of Mozart's birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Côtes de Castillon, an appellation located in the eastern part of Bordeaux on the right bank of the Dordogne river, just east of Saint-Émilion. The area surrounds the town of Castillon-la-Bataille, famous as the site of the historic 1453 battle that ended the Hundred Years' War. Bordeaux itself is globally renowned for its historic wine production and elegant blends. In Côtes de Castillon, the climate is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, though its distance from the sea makes it slightly warmer and drier than neighboring Saint-Émilion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards in this area benefit from well-draining soils consisting primarily of limestone and clay on the higher slopes, with gravel and sand on the terraces and alluvial deposits near the river. These conditions are highly favorable for cultivating Merlot, which typically dominates the local production, supported by Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. The 1985 vintage in this region achieved a score of 90 points and is characterized as soft and elegant, reflecting the classic right-bank Bordeaux tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Haut Gallot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57243938128198,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-939_bddd617e-e49b-42d0-91e7-dbae991d7ec2.jpg?v=1788343517","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/bordeaux-superieur-cotes-de-castillon-chateau-haut-galliot-1985","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
