2016 Chateau Rocheyron, St Emilion Grand Cru (6 x Bottle)
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.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2016 Rocheyron has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and suggestions of wood smoke, camphor and pencil lead over a core of red and black plums, kirsch and blackberry tart. Medium-bodied, finely crafted and elegant in the mouth, the delicate fruit is well-knit with fine-grained tannins and just enough freshness, finishing on a perfumed note.

The 2016 Rocheyron, from Peter Sisseck’s property in Saint-Émilion, is unquestionably the best to date. The bouquet bursts from the glass with fresh blackberry and boysenberry fruit that is seamlessly integrated with the one-third new oak. The palate is framed by fine tannins and a superb line of acidity. There is plenty of crisp black fruit here, and the smooth, energetic finish leaves a crushed stone residue. If you couldn’t locate any Pingus this year, just come here.
