Château ROCHEYRON
Grand cru
- 2023
- 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 2023 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (December 2025): 95/100 "The limestone dimension bursts forth on the nose, followed by floral nuances. Perfectly styled tannins give this 2023 a magnificent texture. Great depth for serene development. A property taken over in 2021 by Pingus (Ribera del Duero, Spain) oenologist Peter Sisseck and Swiss businessman Silvio Denz in 2010, it is climbing to the top of the Saint-Émilion hierarchy."

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."
