Château Roc de Calon
For 100 years, the members of the Laydis family have lived wine as a passion.
In 1922, Théophile Marcelou planted the first vines of what would become Château Roc de Calon. Today, his great-grandson Thomas Laydis, succeeding his parents Bernard and Sylvie, represents the fourth generation at the head of the estate.
Situated in the heart of the Montagne Saint-Emilion appellation, the vineyard extends over 21 hectares on the south-western face of the Calon hillock. For a century, the Laydis family has forged an unshakeable bond with the land from which it draws its product: know-how and respect for the environment have been developed from generation to generation.
Château Roc de Calon is a perfect symbol of the symbiosis between the men and the wine they make: as if by design, each of the estate's cuvées resembles one or other of the family members. So many different personalities and so many different wines, all coming together without resembling each other. And isn't it true that wine has the power to seal strong bonds around special moments?
