Château de Rochemorin Red 2019

Château de Rochemorin | Red

AOC Pessac-Léognan

Fiche Technique

Présentation

Château de Rochemorin belonged to the great philosopher and writer Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu, in the 18th century. Among other famous works, he was the author of the "Persian Letters". Montesquieu was a fine ambassador for the red wines of Rochemorin among his friends, acquaintances and the notables he met during his trips throughout Europe, never forgetting to praise the beautiful complexity and mineral characteristics of his wine, so typical of the Graves terroir. Its beautiful aromatic expression, accompanied by a well-balanced and elegant palate make this one of the most reliable wines in the appellation, while remaining very affordable.

Dégustation

Dark red colour, with good depth and dark carmine highlights.
Beautiful intensity, rather fresh, the nose releases gourmet notes of red and black fruits (raspberry, blackcurrant), to which is associated a light toasty.
The attack is supple. There is a pleasant sweetness in the mouth, a nice tension, roundness, fatness... Everything is well balanced. The oak is elegant. Nice length. Pleasant fruitiness with the very gourmet red fruit notes already perceived on the nose, and some vanilla aromas.

93/100

Plenty of sweet berry and plum aromas with some wet earth and mushroom. It’s full-bodied with a tight and reserved nature. Plenty of structure, yet it’s polished and poised. Merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Try after 2025.

91/100

Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Expressive nose with hints of Crème de Cassis, vanilla and gingerbread spices, subtle oak. On the palate well balanced with mature tannins, distinct freshness, distinct fruit of blackcurrants and ripe blackberries, well structured with very good length.

91/100

An enjoyable wine within the Jacques Lurton range, with focus and finesse but approachable within in a few years of bottling. Blackberry and truffle notes, alongside tighter pencil lead and fine tannins.

91/100

The 2019 de Rochemorin is just as compelling as it was in barrel. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, licorice and menthol notes wrap around the palate. This juicy, mid-weight Pessac-Léognan is a real charmer. I would prefer to drink it on the young side, while the fruit remains juicy. In 2019, Rochemorin marries richness with energy so well.
