CASTILLON, A LEFT-FIELD VIEW OF THE RIGHT BANK BY ALAIN ECHALIER PHOTOGRAPHS: COURTESY OF THE ESTATES, ©PIERRE PLANCHENAULT Castillon is home to over 200 winegrowers who farm an average of 10 hectares each. Evidence of winegrowing here dates back to Gallo-Roman times and yet, awareness of the region both in France and around the world is still very haphazard. We take a stab at righting this wrong. THE VINEYARDS IN FRONT OF CHÂTEAU GERMAN 84 AUTUMN 2022 • GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE
BORDEAUX APPELLATION As a reminder, when Henry Plantagenet became King of England after marrying Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1152, the entire region of Guyenne fell under English rule. At the time, the area covered a good third of present-day France, and included all of Bordeaux. Castillon, a little market town on the Dordogne, upriver from Libourne and Saint-Emilion, also fell within its boundaries. This in turn opened up the London market to the region’s wines, leading to a boom for the wine industry. A NAME STEEPED IN HISTORY But it was only 300 hundred years later that ‘Castillon’ established its reputation. As the English defended their continental territory against the King of France’s troops, their leader, Talbot, lost a decisive battle on 17 July 1453, which proved fatal to him. The battle, which took place near Castillon, put an end to the Hundred Years’ War, and marked the withdrawal of the English from the continent. Nowadays, a re-enactment of the battle takes place every summer during a performance for the public. The Saint-Emilion co-operative winery has even marketed a commemorative bottle for the event, under the Castillon appellation of course. EVERY YEAR, THE RE-ENACTMENT OF THE BATTLE OF CASTILLON TAKES US BACK TO 1453 THE CASTILLON CÔTES DE BORDEAUX APPELLATION Bordering Saint-Emilion to the East, it extends over several villages around the town now known as Castillon-la-Bataille. Just like in Saint-Emilion, a plateau formed primarily of clay-limestone drops down towards to the sandy-gravelly valley floor where the Dordogne flows. The inclines can be relatively steep, with drops ranging from 30 to 70 metres. The vineyard sites therefore offer good quality, particularly on the western side at a tangent with Saint-Emilion, where the limestone soils are more common. At the same time, this prestigious but cumbersome neighbour may have taken some of the limelight away from Castillon. AUTUMN 2022 • GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE 85
