ROCHEGRÉS 2013, “COUP DE CŒUR” of HACHETTE Wine Guide 2016 and 2 stars
We are happy to announce that our first vintage Rochegrés 2013 has been elected “Coup de cœur” of Hachette Wine Guide 2016 and received 2 stars described as a remarkable wine.
Extract from Hachette Wine Guide:
« This ambitious cuvée has been aged 12 months in oak barrels. It gives it a noze of black fruits with delicates vanilla taste. In the mouth, the wood taste is perfectly assimilated, a full-bodied wine, deep and intense. Firm tannins gives it a good ageeing potential. Tannins will get smoother with time. This wine gathers power and elegence.”
