About The Brand

It all began more than a century ago when Prosper-Jean Robin (1848-1930) acquired Château La Couspaude, which is ideally situated at the entrance to the medieval village of Saint-Emilion, a meeting place for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. It is from this perfect geographical location at the top of the clay-limestone plateau of Saint Emilion that the estate takes its name: “La Croix Paute” (now “La Couspaude”). The soil of La Couspaude reflects the fine characteristics of the Saint-Emilion limestone plateau. The vines are rooted in the limestone and benefit from a natural regulation of the soil's water reserves. This natural regulation of water, coupled with the poor soil, slightly undulating topography and good exposure to the sun, are the main components of the Château La Couspaude terroir.
