La Réserve du Roy is an intimate, vibrant estate undergoing a renaissance, where the wine reflects both the terroir and a new story being written today.
A New Chapter
For several generations, the Janoueix family has tended this estate with the utmost dedication. This consistency has shaped the estate’s identity, rooted in the winemaking tradition of Bordeaux’s right bank.
Today, Sophie Janoueix is opening a new chapter.
As the heir to a renowned legacy of expertise, she is infusing the estate with new energy and a more open, contemporary perspective.
Our Wines
Centered around an 18th-century “chartreuse”, La Réserve du Roy spans 10 hectares of vineyards on exceptional clay-limestone soil, neighboring Saint-Émilion and Pomerol.
Dominated by Merlot and rich in preserved biodiversity, this family estate combines tradition with modernization to offer elegant, silky, and fresh wines that reflect a unique expertise.
Today, under the leadership of Sophie Janoueix, this expertise is expressed with renewed precision and a confident freshness. The result is sincere and elegant vintages that reflect an authentic, contemporary, and accessible Bordeaux.
the rebirth of a place
The estate’s charterhouse is currently undergoing a complete renovation, designed as a transformation that respects its architecture and spirit.
The vision: to create an intimate and welcoming hotel experience, dedicated to the art of living on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Immersive stays, tastings, moments of tranquility amidst the vineyards…
La Réserve du Roy will become a destination in its own right — a secluded haven, set apart from the world, where nature, the vineyards, and time become one.
“To make La Réserve du Roy a vibrant and intimate place, where tradition is expressed with renewed precision and a confident freshness.”
