Château de Côme

The Château de Côme, a former property, dates from the 1830s.
When Maurice Velge acquired it in 1997, it only had 2 hectares left, which were leased to a neighbouring Château. In 2 years, it has grown to 7 hectares of an excellent terroir of clay-limestone and sand. The grape varieties are 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot.
His son, Guy ... Velge, now the manager and representative of the family, continues this high quality work surrounded by his experienced team.
The wine is distinguished by its finesse and depth, by its fruit, its softness in the mouth, the maturity of the tannins with a slightly feminine accent for a St-Estèphe.
The estate opts for natural viticulture. The 2018 harvest now bears the organic label, the only one in St-Estèphe to have obtained it today. It also produces a cuvée with no added sulphites.
The above guarantees an extremely healthy management of the vineyard and the vinification.
The techniques used by the Grands Crus are applied at Côme, with Director José Bueno having trained at Château Mouton Rothschild.
In addition to a real analytical and technical rigour, the human, sensitive and reflective element plays an important role in every decision concerning the strategy towards naturalness and organic farming as well as the date of harvest, blending, sorting, etc.
The estate is now in a stage of total renewal to allow for optimal quality of the wines.
Côme was never a great estate but today, as in the 19th century, it remains totally focused on the search for perfection and progress in quality. see more
