Château Jeandeman is an estate in the commune of Saint-Aignan in the Fronsadais on the right bank of the Bordeaux region. It produces red wines under the Fronsac AOC. Château Jeandeman was bought (from the Chollet family it seems) in 1919 by Joseph Roy, already a winemaker in a neighboring estate. Jacques Roy, his son, succeeded him in 1952. Jacques Roy died in 1962. His widow Françoise, remarried in 1965 to Jean-Marie Trocard, sealing the union of the two families Roy and Trocard. Together, they ran Château Jeandeman and Laborde for 30 years, during which time the vineyard grew from 16 to 42 hectares. Françoise and Jean-Marie Trocard’s son Jean Trocard subsequently took over the vineyard.

Vineyards: Château Jeandeman lies at on the limestone plateau reaching 88m above sea level at what is the highest (and very luminous) point of the Fronsadais, overlooking the Isle and Dordogne valley. There are 33 hectares of vines, on an exceptionally sunny site. Its soil, limestone and clay-limestone, has a rare characteristic which gives a unique quality to the wines: ferric oxide (‘sols limoneux rouges’), which Henri Enjalbert said were also found in in Lussac, Puisseguin and St Christophe des Bardes in the Saint-Emilionnais).
