Château Trébiac is a wine estate located in the Graves sub-region of Bordeaux. The château is under the ownership and professional management of the Sichel family, six generations wine merchants and wine makers in Bordeaux, owners of Château Angludet in Margaux and majority co-owners of the prestigious third growth Château Palmer in Margaux, amongst twenty others.

Skilfully managed by Arnaud de Butler using sustainable agricultural practices, Château Trébiac lies on a gravel plateau at Portets, 35 km south of Bordeaux. Over the past five years the winery was completely renovated.

From 20-year-old vines, 2011 Château Trébiac white is a blend of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc; the beautiful yellow golden color white exhibits aromas and flavors of ripe citrus, sweet apple and white flowers. The same fruit characteristics persist on the round and balanced palate, with great freshness and aromatic elegance. The finish is long and refreshing.

This white blend has the bright aromas of the Sauvignon grape, without any harsh acidity, and a roundness given by the Semillon grape. It is perfect to serve as aperitif or paired with mixed salads, white meats, grilled fish and sea-food dishes. 

The sale price on the white is $12.99 which makes it an unbeatable value in our current selection.

From vines with an average age  of 29 years old, 2009 Château Trébiac red is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.

This red blend pairs well with grilled red meats, meat stews, rotisserie chicken and aged cheeses.

The sale price on the red is only $13.99, top value for a quality red blend.
