Château Rocheyron St Emilion Grand Cru 2016

Get a hold of this wine, filled to the brim with limestone character, slate-pummice texture, scraping tannins and an opulent, concentrated seam of damson and black cherry fruits. You just know it is going to age effortlessly, and the energy propels you through the palate, punctuated with bitter chocolate, seat salt and mandarin zest. This is what these soils can do if you allow them to perform – and interesting to note that the vintage conditions were relatively similar to the 2010 but the way the soils have been treated since has obviously had a major impact. Harvest from October 10 to 18, yields 35h/h, 30% new oak for ageing, organic conversion.
