Château Rochebelle St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2020

Plenty of depth and character, this is elegant and concentrated, full of dark berry fruits, edges of grilled earth, wet stone minerality, gunsmoke, cold ash, mandarin rind and pomegranate. I’m a big fan of this tiny 3ha property on the limestone plateau, and it has performed strongly under the dry summer of 2020. Emilie Faniest winemaker, Thomas Duclos consultant.
