Château Rocheyron – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2018:

 

Château Rocheyron: The New Limestone Star of Saint-Émilion

Château Rocheyron represents the pinnacle of modern, terroir-driven Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. A partnership between renowned winemaker Peter Sisseck and luxury goods entrepreneur Silvio Denz, this estate is dedicated to crafting a wine of purity, finesse, and limestone-driven tension from its historic Right Bank plateau.

The biodynamic farming and focused winemaking ensure that each bottle is a complex, age-worthy expression of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, delivering a wine that is both rich and cool on the palate-a true collector’s item.

Tasting Notes (Reference Vintage)

• **Color:** Deep, brilliant garnet-red.
• **Nose:** Highly pure and complex. Aromas of dark cherry, ripe plum, and blackberry mingle with elegant notes of sweet baking spice, tobacco leaf, and a distinct, refreshing chalky minerality.
• **Palate:** Rich yet cool, with a medium-full body. The texture is immediately silky, supported by fine-grained, powerful tannins that provide a linear precision and excellent grip. The driving limestone tension carries the noble, long finish.

Pairing & Serving

This Grand Vin deserves a place at the finest table. Serve at 60-62°F (15-17°C). Decant young vintages for 60-90 minutes to allow the wine to fully open and express its silky texture.

• **Suggested Pairings:** Seared Beef Tenderloin with Truffle Sauce, Roasted Rack of Lamb with Rosemary, Aged Hard Cheeses.
