Château ROCHEYRON
Grand cru
- 2021
- Saint-Émilion
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.
Listed in the Revue du Vin de France guide in 2026.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (2026 Guide): 92/100 "In this rather late vintage, Rocheyron bursts onto the scene with an extremely mouth-watering straightforwardness."

The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 94/100 Coup de ♥ "Still sullen, this 2022 asserts its striking density. The still combative tannins deserve three to four years of cellaring to release a ripe and solid substance. The limestone dimension is strongly present on the finish."
