Close to the Gironde estuary, the vineyard grows on sunny hills and has good influences from Atlantic ocean . The limestone covered with 30cm to 1m of brown clay gives Château Rousselle it's warm and exceptionnal soil.

Vines are spread over 23 hectares, with 5700 plants per hectare cultivated by hand. At Château Rousselle, Merlot is predominant, but the vineyard also has a large area of Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon. In summer, debudding, thinning out of leaves and harvest in green are practiced to keep only the best grapes, which are harvested in the fall at their full maturity. A holistic approach to the viticulture consists of light treatment only when necessary, supported by biodynamic ideas.
