WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Rocher-Figeac Saint-Émilion is a distinguished red wine from the prestigious Saint-Émilion appellation in Bordeaux. Crafted by a producer with deep roots in the region, this wine showcases the unique characteristics of its clay-limestone soils. The vineyard, with vines averaging 45 years old, is planted predominantly with Merlot (85%) and complemented by Cabernet Franc (15%). Grapes are meticulously hand-harvested, ensuring only the finest fruit is selected. Winemaking involves a careful fermentation process in a combination of concrete and stainless steel tanks, followed by aging that is evenly split between tanks and oak barrels, half of which are first-use. The result is a wine of remarkable depth and elegance, offering rich fruit flavors balanced by silky tannins and a long, refined finish. Château Rocher-Figeac Saint-Émilion embodies the tradition and excellence of Bordeaux winemaking.
