Château Hyot is situated on the slopes just west of Castillon, in the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, a neighboring region to Saint-Émilion known for Merlot-dominant wines of genuine character at value prices.

Tasting Notes
Intense color with ruby reflections and a shine. The nose offers black fruit, blackberry, blackcurrant and blueberry with toasted notes. The authenticity of the terroir comes through in the tannic structure and fruitiness of the wine.
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020
Wine Enthusiast (Roger Voss), 91 Points— A well-balanced wine with acidity and black currant fruits, this is structured and juicy. It is set to age well, freshness keeping the fruit vivid. Drink from 2025.
Prior Vintage Review - Vintage 2019
James Suckling, 90 Points — Mulberries, dark plums, dried herbs, burdock and cigar box on the nose. Medium body with powdery tannins. Fruity, with fresh acidity and a flavorful, earthy finish.
