Château Guillon
Château Guillon (Шато Гийон) се намира в село Castres-Gironde. Има доказателства за римско присъствие в Кастр през първи век пр.н.е., което дава основание да се предполага, че римляните по това време вече са знаели за потенциала за производството на вино. Всъщност пет века по-късно римският поет Аузоний описва бреговете на река Гарона като обрасли с лозя. Лозята на Château Guillon се намират в сърцето на апелацията Graves, върху почви, които са комбинация от чакъл и пясък, което е залог за изключителните качества на тези вина. През 1992 семейство Кастел закупува 94 хектара от имението, след като са били арендатори на лозята през предходните 16 години. Оттогава насам фамилия Кастел продължава безупречната си работа в имението, като същевременно обновява съоръженията за производство на вино, което позволява на Château Guillon да създава вдъхновяващи вина.

Merlot
Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
