Château Rocheyron Grand Cru Saint-Émilion 2011
The 7.4 hectare vineyard comprises two main plots. The larger of these, covering around three quarters of the total area, is home to the younger Merlot vines, which are planted on hard limestone soils. The other, a plot called La Boutisse, is on more fractured limestone and is planted with 80+ year old Cabernet Franc and Merlot, bringing up the average vine age to over 45 years. Three passes through the vineyard are made to harvest young Merlot, old Merlot and finally Cabernet Franc, which are all then vinified separately. A silky wine with shaved-bitter-chocolate and raspberry character. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a clean finish. First time I’ve tasted this and I am impressed. A joint venture between Silvio Denz of Faugères and rock-star winemaker in Spain Peter Sisseck. Better in 2016. [92 points, James Suckling, February 2014]
