Côtes Rocheuses 2022
One of the oldest brands from the Union de Producteurs de Saint-Emilion, created in 1935, Côtes Rocheuses went through time, at the very heart of modernity and tradition. It remains the perfect example of a wine from the slopes of Saint-Emilion: deep, fruity and mineral.

Advice
Serving
This is a perfect partner for grilled red meats, duck filet and moderately mature cheeses.
Tasting
This is a lovely open wine with fleshy fruit, elegant tannins and good minerality, with nice wooden aromas and flavour. The fruit lingers well through the length. A charming wine, good representative of the typical taste of Saint Emilion Grand Cru.
Reviews
"A generous and plummy nose with some currants and a touch of iron and orange-peel savoriness. Not complex but round and juicy with medium body and a medium-length finish. Drink now." [+]
