Château ROCHEYRON Grand cru 2024 Futures

Rocheyron is the result of a friendly and professional partnership between Sylvio Denz (Faugères and Lafaurie-Peyraguey) and Peter Sisseck (Pingus). Since 2010, they have been investing in this small 8-hectare vineyard, located entirely on the asteriated limestone plateau characteristic of Saint-Émilion: tilling the soil, conversion to organic farming (certified in 2020), gentle vinification at low temperatures... Rocheyron is constantly progressing, and each year offers wines with an unequalled tannic softness.

La Revue du Vin de France : 92-94/100  « « Le vin espagnol naît au soleil, le vin de bordeaux naît dans le puits ». Peter Sisseck aime rappeler ce vieil adage pour évoquer ce millésime sauvé des eaux. Mais quelle réussite à Rocheyron ! D'abord de subtiles nuances aromatiques, à la fois florales, réglisse et cerise. C'est le fruité que l'on apprécie tant à ce stade, et pourtant si difficile à retrouver ailleurs. En bouche ? Une silhouette traçante, filiforme, imprégnée de son terroir calcaire tardif. Loin d'être un vin consensuel, c'est une flèche calcaire qui file jusqu'à une finale extrêmement revigorante. »

Vinous (N. Martin): 88-90/100 "The 2024 Rocheyron was picked from September to October 3 at 33 hl/ha, underwent has pumping over during extraction, and was matured in 10% new French oak and 10% in foudre. It offers red plum and crushed strawberry on the nose, with a slight confit-like quality. The palate has a fleshy entry, rounded in texture with pretty red fruit, but it lacks grip and backbone on the finish. As such, this latest iteration will be more for early drinking before broaching the excellent '22."
